Hello,
Sometimes when I block pop ups or unblock pop ups it keep pops up .Likeurl==http://=http:///url when I open my internet explorer a pop up of www.broadcast.com pops up with firefox explorer.Sometimes a different website pops up but similar graphics and abouts of this website.

I wish someone can help me, thanks.

You probably have spyware, so get yourself a copy of ad-aware and spybot and that should do the trick.

Download.com has both, so search there

You do not turn it off, you get rid of it.
And I doubt protecting your computer from spyware and viruses will get your dad mad.

Hello
ok thanks, so I removed spyware than get ad-spyware and spybot or I can choose which one to get.

And that will fix the problem so no pops up will auto pops up anymore, also when I try to do freebies offers ,sometimes it automatically download a something like "free credit card" appears in my desktop and I have to delete it.

Jeez, you're murdering English.

Okay, for one it is AD-AWARE and you don't choose which one to get because they both detect results that the other will not. That should fix the problem, and if you get pop ups from an offer's site, you might get pop ups, but files on your desktop are different from pop ups. Please try and explain yourself clearly.
