Tired of Pop-Ups getting in your way?

Pop-Ups, what is a pop-up anyway?

Pop-ups were actually designed to be helpful and have been exploited to become a present day nusiance. So what are they for? And, how are they helpful? Pop-ups were created to inform the user that the computer needed their attention. Similar to a student rasing a hand to get recognized by the instructor. Many times as computers are processing our requests they require further input to finish the task, what size paper? two sides or one? B & W or color? just to name a few examples. So pop-ups were created to 'alert' the user to a computer request for more information. To make sure the user got the request, the pop-up was designed to be system modal, that's just a fancy way of saying I'm going to display my message on 'top' of everything else on the screen. Have I got your attention? Once the user input the required information the pop-up would go away and the task would get completed. The good pop-up.

Pop-ups, we'll get control of your PC back

We offer guaranteed solutions to not only get rid of your pop-ups, but also the underlying root cause that is generating the annoying pop-ups and slowing your computer down. Malicious software preys on unwary victims surfing the internet, often posing as helper software, something you need to download to get to where or what you want. Sometimes the user can pick it up as 'bundled' software, one piece of software that comes free or even as a 'hitchhiker' with another piece of software, occasionally even with software from reputable companies. Once installed, this rogue software often has full access privledges and can access the system and its files as if it was the user. There is even some software that can track and record the keystrokes on your keyboard that can reveal passwords to their creators. Some may remember the "Target" attack that did just that around the busy holiday season of 2013.

We Fix Frustrating Pop-ups

While the initial idea behind pop-ups was to be helpful, because of their design to be on top, they were ripe for unscrupulous advertisers to take advantage of, the bad pop-up. Soon these helpful messengers had been turned into obnoxious and unwanted billboards that would require interaction to 'go-away'. Mose users don't realize that such interaction is eaxctly what the advertiser wants, often tricking the user into downloading even worse software, adding even more pop-ups, toolbars or data-mining code. Those unwanted pop-ups could very well be the begining of attempted identity theft. Use caution as you click the mine-field of the pop-ups, they are designed to wear down your defenses.
