How To Stop HotPop Popup Pages?
My machine will suddenly run slow and closing down pages I usually find a page from 'Hotpops' sitting there.
Close it down and things return to normal. why the bloody thing has to slow the machine down as well as pop up i don't know but, of course, i suspect it is doing something - hijacking my machine perhaps.
This is put up as a Firefox page so the problem is within firefox somewhere. I've been around the menus and done what i can but I can't find way to stop it.
any help?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).
Is the problem still there?
You may have ad / mal-ware. Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.
