Another one that used to pop up for me, it's this official-looking message saying that some viruses have been detected on my computer. THEN, it asks if you want to install something cleaner I think. Even if you close it, it will open you up to a window with it available to download. DON'T. My computer couldn't be used because of the viruses for two weeks. When the window pops open, CLOSE IT immediately. Just a warning to all :-)

sktrchick95 ’s Invisible pin is 5* - Spooky!
1 time when i was little my mom was on the computer and she got a pop-up saying "CONGRATS!!!!! YOU"VE WON A NEW COMPUTER!!!!!" or something like that when i saw it i was so excited im like " mommy click it click it click it!!" she was like "no it is a trick" im like "it can't be if i want a new computer" i was 6 i think. A very smart 6 year old. but i was blonde then so i was stupid when it came to computers.

i have a pop-up blocker but it never works. every other day or to there is at least 1 pop-up.

I keep my pop-up blocker on all the time, and so a while back I decided that it would be fine if I played those little games that would get you a "free iPod", or whatever. I knew it wouldn't actually get you anything for free, but I just played the little games just for the sake of it. Well, those can give you viruses, too, even is you're just playing the games. Just clicking on them gave me a bad virus a while back, and I haven't done it since.

Some of the free iPod things will actually give you free iPods, though. It doesn't normally happen, but I knew someone who entered all of her information, and she actually DID get a free Ipod in the mail within the next few days. Haha.

The Browser I use blocks them, so they don't pop-up. It is like Internet Explorer, and it is, but with a different name and more advanced.

The pop-up blocker is such a good friend ^.^... Almost 400 pop-ups blocked. Some escape and still pop-up, though. Annoying -_-...
