I use firefox extensivly to working Auto Surf Click exchanges.

I have no problem with adware since installing WebRoot SpySweeper. It's not free but it works.
I also have pop-ups under control except for one small group and I wonder it there is a way to stop them.
The pop-up I am refering to is the error notifications from the system and or Firefox. Error messages like:

ptp2.htm cannot be found ( by for the most frequent ) and also

........ timed out and other similar errors

Can anyone help please?

If you want to block error alerts (such as "The operation timed out...", "The document contains no data" etc) and change them with error pages :
a. Type about:config in the location bar
b. Look for the line browser.xul.error_pages.enabled
c. Right click and toggle the value to true

"23) Download Windows Prefetch Clean and Control if you use WinXP then run it and clean the Prefetch monthly. "

This is suggestion is utterly false and should be removed from the list.
DO NOT CLEAN OUT the Prefetch Folder. Windows will automatically trim the folder.

See:

"26) By all means, do NOT use any P2P file-sharing programs. Those are spawning vats for viruses. "

Hmmm, I use eMule with no problems. No viruses. No spyware. Ever. You could warn people to think twice before using P2P programs but telling them to not use P2P is just bad advice.

All this rigamaroe. I thought all this crap was why one should convert of Firefox. Is Firefox getting weak?

I keep on getting the Aurora pop ups. I have windows xp. I downloaded ewido and Hijack this (spyware doctor), went into safe mode and restarted computer. When scanning I couldn't find the line F2 - REG:system.exe.....etc so continued to scan. Both scanned my computer but I don't think that anything is fixed because spyware doctor told me I have to purchase before I can check any items. I came out of safe mode and restarted computer and if I run a scan it tells me that I have a problem i.e. Nail.exe. Is there a way to stop aurora popping up without purchasing spydoctor?

Do a search of the forum or do a Google search. The answers are there.

I am getting frequent (about every five minutes) popups of the firefox home page. What do I do?

cheers np. I downloaded updates from Spybot and this seems to have solved the Aurora pop ups problem (fingers and toes remain crossed)
