Before my computer crashed, I had a total of ZERO pop-ups. Now I have them even when I don't have the internet window pulled up! How does that happen?!? I've gone through and changed the security settings a zillion times, trying different options. I have my internet through the cable company and before the crash, we would actually have to click on the IE icon on desktop to access the net. Now the only way to stop the pop-ups from coming through is to turn off the box. I really need some help on this, ya'll. I have Fix-It Utilities 6 installed and I've done virus scans and a number of other things to find the problem, but just when I think I've solved it…boom! Another pop-up. I can understand them while I'm online….but to have them offline too? Someone please help! I'm going crazy here! lol

My alarm company is no help and I pre-paid for a year so I have to stick with them. Is there a way to set the modem on the alarm to not use error correction or something? I have a GE NetworX alarm.
I hooked up the phone line to the alarm panel myself. It had 4 wires that I hooked up correctly because it worked with my old Cox VOIP phone service. For some reason Magic Jack does not work as well with the alarm as my cable company's VOIP. Is there a way to turn off error correction or something? I am suprised that new alarm systems do not support VOIP or don't just hook up to the internet directly.
