Why do Zhotkey and Interactive Services boxes pop up on my computer?
Posted on February 24th, 2010 by admin
I’ve been experiencing this problem lately and I can’t figure out what to do. The "Zhotkey" message pops up then disappears. The "Interactive Services" box pops up and I X it out abut it comes right back in a few minutes. When I run my anti-virus program it does not indicate a problem but who knows. Could this mean there’s some sort of malicious or spy device on the computer?
Using Pop-up Blocker
When you install SP2, Pop-up Blocker is turned on in Internet Explorer and set to the medium setting, which means it will block most automatic pop-ups. The default settings for
the pop-up blocker allow you to see pop-ups that are opened when you click a link or button on a Web site. Pop-up Blocker will also play a sound and show the Information Bar
when a pop-up is blocked. You can adjust these settings so that Pop-up Blocker works the way you want it to.
To change Pop-up Blocker settings
1.Open Internet Explorer.
2.On the Tools menu, point to Pop-up Blocker, and then click Pop-up Blocker Settings.
Internet Explorer Tools menu
If you want to see pop-up windows from a specific Web site, type the address (or URL) of the site in the Address of Web site to allow box, and then click Add.
