what you need is to disable pop-ups in mozilla firefox options. Also you can disable pop-ups in your virus protector (cant think of the word for it) E.X McAfee, Norton....

Try this:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865

Then, when you AdBlock something, make it a wildcard block like so:


http://www.nastyxxx.com/adverturl/*

The key part being the "*", as that means any adverts etc from "nastyxxx.com" would be blocked.

Thanks for the input. I used Mozilla pop up block. But it seems like that it not working. Now as one fellow said to install adblock. I did that and it seems like that first I need to put all those XXX site URL and then I will be able to block them. Is there any other way ? I have installed McAfee and also used parental lock and it not working so far.Please give me more idea to hendle this sad situation.

Hi picky7. This sounds like a malware issue. Perhaps you could post a hijackthis log along with a scan log of whatever antimalware you have in safe mode.

Best Regards :D

PS: Please note that while pop ups can be caused by webpages, when it gets more numerous, it is a sympton of malware. That is why ad block or any other pop up blocker cannot stop them, because the pop ups are not caused by webpages, but rather, malware.
