How do you remove, block, or install quizrocket ?

Question

Quizrocket (dot) com seems to be a gold ole' fashion PUP pseudo virus pop up. I do not see any rouge programs in my control panel, I'm using Internet Explorer 7 with pop up block, and I scan regally with SB search & destroy. The web site seems to be immune to the pop up blocker.

Answer 1

Here is a program that is a bit better than spybot. Use the free version.

Answer 2

QuizRocket might be a little annoying, but so far as I can tell, it isn't virus, spyware, adware etc. What I think is happening, is you are either getting regular old pop up ads from websites that sell popup ads, some of which must be sold to QuizRocket, or you have some other adware running that is serving ads from QuizRocket. They look to me like just a site that buys a lot of ads, but probably not the source of the problem...rather a ride-along on the problem.

When the ads pop, is there a URL that you can see where they are coming from? That'll sometimes help track down the source of the annoyance.
