Bing Search window popping up

★ Newbie

I am having issues with Bing search window continuously popping up while I am playing games on pogo. This only happens on pogo. I have blocked Bing and changed my internet settings and still cannot get it to stop. It is very frustrating as most times I cannot continue a game since the search will not go away and I cannot do anything but close out, because of this interruption. Do you have any suggestions on how to get this to stop while I am on pogo. I fear that I will not be able to continue to play on pogo if this continues. Please help. I have gone to many other sites to see if it is something with my computer and it only happens on pogo.

It  sounds like you may have Malware or Adware on your computer which is causing this.

 

There's a detailed article in Pogo News which you should read which gives troubleshooting steps to resolve this:

Please take the time to read this and follow the steps to remove the Adware/Malware.

Note that this is not coming from Pogo.

Maybe you are pressing a key combination that brings you to the search?

You have my email address wrong and won't let me change it... You even keep telling me my last name is invalid. I have my same email address since 2004 and my last name since 1961. My email address is [edit: email address removed]             NOT NOT NOT [edit: email address removed].
