How do I stop this stupid sidebar pop-up? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

DJM77 · 12-10-2013, 06:52 PM

I bought a new computer on Friday and as soon as I started browsing with it I got this sidebar pop-up every time I clicked on a new thread. It says "related searches" at the top and it takes up the entire side of the screen. I changed my pop-up blocker settings, but that didn't help. I was using internet explorer. I don't understand because I used internet explorer on my old computer and I never had this problem. I really don't think that using a different browser will help because I downloaded google chrome and it was working fine for a few days, but then today I started getting that same sidebar pop-up. Any suggestions?

Is there any chance those sidebars are sponsored by a company called "BetterSurf?"

I have no idea, but it doesn't say "BetterSurf" anywhere on there.
