I keep getting this popup, despite having popup blockers on and active in my web browsers, both IE and Firefox. "You can chat with friends on Windows Live™ Messenger right from your Yahoo! Mail. Click Add Contacts to scan your addresses and invite these friends to chat." It comes up on every screen in Yahoo Mail. How do I make it stop??
Immediately have your computer checked for a ‘bug’ or ‘bugs,’ in case you picked up adware or malware.
Once it is clean of pests, install a firewall and an anti-virus program if you do not have one yet.
I strongly recommend a program for malware and adware also.
After you finish this, then go in and change your password, using a good strong one.
Then open your Internet Explorer, and click on ‘Tools.’
Click on the last one in pop-up menu, ‘Internet options.’
Click on the ‘Privacy’ tab. The last item in the window is the pop-up blocker, make sure it is checked. Then click on the ‘apply’ button at the bottom, then click on the ‘ok’ button.
Also, check your Firefox browser.
