Is there a way when I'm surfing the Internet to get rid of pop-up windows forever?
Pop-ups may contain spyware, so it’s best to use a web browser that blocks pop-ups, such as Mozilla’s Firefox. When using Firefox, it asks you permission before allowing a pop-up. When using Internet Explorer, go to Tools menu > Pop-up Blocker > Pop-up Blocker Settings.
Or you can use a spyware prevention program that also protects your computer for spyware-laden pop-ups while allowing pop-up windows you may want.

Always shut down your printer using its power button, versus your power strip's on/off switch. Otherwise, its print heads might not line up and print properly when you turn it back on.
