Hello everyone,
One of my academic members of staff has complained about pop-up adverts appearing on his screen since he went over to broadband.
One of the popup adverts advertises www.popupbarrier.com for a download to prevent future popups (ironic isn't it?).
Does anyone have experience of this software? Any advice you can offer will be welcome.
Thanks
Jim Roberts |
