Anyone know how to stop google pop ups and adware?

Sometimes, I don't even realize that an ad is there until after I shut down the browser, then a stupid ad is left on screen.

    To resolve this behavior, contact the administrator for the Web site to determine if there is a way to prevent the pop-up windows from being opened.or You can disable Active Scripting in Internet Explorer to prevent most pop-up windows from being opened. To disable Active Scripting for a particular Web site, you can add that site to the Restricted Sites zone, and then disable Active Scripting and other content for the Restricted Sites zone. This prevents scripted links from working, but only for the sites that you add to the Restricted Sites zone.

    To add a site to the Restricted Sites zone in Internet Explorer:
    1. Start Internet Explorer.
    2. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
    3. Click the Security tab.
    4. Click Restricted Sites, and then click Sites.
    5. In the Add this Web site to the zone box, type the Web address for the site that you want to restrict, and then click Add. Repeat this step if you want to add other sites to the zone.
    6. Click OK.
    7. Click Default Level to set the Restricted Sites zone to the recommended level, which disables Active Scripting.
    8. Click OK.

    papajohni, he's talking about Google Chrome, not Internet Explorer.

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.
