Please Help!!! Ive had to uninstall & install this program several times due to an annoying pop up window from Internet Exployer Security saying "A website wants to open web content using this program on your computer." Each time I click on allow it continues to pop up several more times then goes away, but then continues to appear again, and again. Please help me to resolve this issue. Thank you.

You're likely infected with "adware". If you see these popups on plain HTML pages (no Flash content) then you've been infected and the adware is trying to open Flash based ads.

Hi Mike M, Thanks for the info. I googled Adware and they had free Adware removal. Do you suggest I use one of them & if so, do you recommend a particular program? Much appreciated!!! : )

TDSSKiller.exe from Kaspersky is probably the best tool for removing adware, but even it won't find everything.

Thanks Mike M....again. I will try anything at this point. These constant pop-ups are frustrating. I may have to breakdown & have my laptop looked at by a professional to see if they can recommend other options & possibly upgrading.
