Everybody wants to stop popups, Right?
And why do we want to stop them? Because they’re just like telemarketing phone calls and spam email. They appear without warning to offer us something we probably don’t want.
Recently I stumbled upon a funny video that shows not only how frustrating it is to get lots of popups but also how frustrating it is to try and get help when these popups take over our PC. And while I don’t endorse his method to stop popups or the way he handled tech support, I thought you could use a good laugh about these real life problems.
Again, do not use his method to stop popups because it would be hazardous to your PC’s health! Below the video I offer an alternative suggestion on how to stop popups.
Hope you enjoyed the video and here are my suggestions on how to stop popups:
- Use a popup blocker. Just about every web browser has a free one that just needs to be turned on.
- Avoid going to sites that may be using not only lots of popups but some of these popups may try to download viruses or spyware. There’s no easy way to identify which sites or types of sites these are however I’d definately recommend not using any of the links included in spam email.
And for those popups that still get through:
Stay calm and recite …
Stop popups… Stop popups… Stop popups… while you close the popup.
I doubt that this will really stop popups but you never know …
To Your Success,
Susan
