got a question for those that use Grokster

Hardy · #1 07-15-2002, 03:22 PM

Ever since I downloaded Grokster, every single webpage gives me 2-3 pop ups, it is so damn annoying!!!!!! Is it Grokster or the Internet thats doing it? I don't really want to get rid of Grokster, but if its that, then I will. I know its not the websites putting them up, cause I didn't sign up for any popups on my site and I even get them there, which sux!

Well if eqemu.net or any of the forums give you popups, it shouldnt.

grokster came along with a lot of spywares , search for adaware on google , and run the thing , it should help you alot , another good tool is spybot but homepage is in german

I wish the creators of spy-ware would wake up one day to a nail in their eye. Death to spy-ware!

Oooo, found a program that lets you get rid of ALL popups, even ones that sites put up to make money, but u have to BUY the program, damn it, back to Grokster, now what was that name of that damn program? It was a pop up telling me to get rid of popups, lol. Guess I go to every site till that thing pops up again!
