Hi List, I was wondering the same thing! I get so many pop ups telling me my computer is going to crash, I need to fix my Shockwave, my browsers are out of date, etc that I want to sling something through the screen. I have updated EVERYTHING and they still come. Check to make sure this isn't your case Margaret.

Yes, because if it is, when you click on the pop-link it installs malware. On Fri, Jan 17, 2014 at 2:21 PM, Viki Scheldrup <scheldrup@nemont.net> wrote: > Hi List, > I was wondering the same thing!
