Not pop ups

They are called under -ups or pop unders
they cannot be stopped via pop up blockers and such.

They are shutting down computers worldwide. What happens is that if you download any freesoftware or some sort of file they will attach to your computer and take up lots of ram and will disable your computer many times.

In some cases they will open up your disk drives and tell you that you need to purchase thier software to prevent all this.

Thousands of people have complained recently to their Attorney generals with little succsess.

It cannot be deleted so easy even when you delete the free software. Spyblockers cannot remove them 100 percent either as they just reload when you startup your machine.

they hide under different file names in your program file folder. It can get so bad that your machine can become unusable and you will need to reformat your harddrive.

Some computer geeks can help but will need to come to your computer and look for these files manually

Good Luck
