  • !!! Solution To Gr Popup Problem !!!

    EDIT: I've got three copies of these instuctions posted on here and it's becoming awkward to keep them all up to date with changes.

    Therefore, I have moved them to a page on my web server.

    Click here for the instructions!

    Thanks Dave. Brilliant!

    I haven't been on GR since I heard about the problem, but I know that I have messages waiting for me. I guess that if I add this to hosts, I should be quite safe.

              It doesn't seem to work on Windows ME - it just says it can't find it. But my solution is to stay off GR until they sort it out!

                    Kite, try putting WinDir in place of system32...like this:

                    notepad c:\WINDOWS\WinDir\drivers\etc\hosts

                    I think that should work for ME.

                      No, it says it can't open that one either, but never mind. Thanks anyway.

                                  It is only for that specific pop up Ad Val. It won't stop any other Pop Ups.

                                      Val, I thought you had Firefox? You need to download the Adblock and Flashblock extensions.
