How to Completely Turn Off Pop-Up Ads

Post by Fulcanelli »

I am using PSP X7, Windows 10, and Corel pop-ups randomly pop up with offers. I"ve disabled the msg settings and still they pop! These ads don't make me want a new version - they make me want to switch to another program.

I also have PS2019 and for how I use the software, X7 works better for me.

I do not see any services listed to delete. Is there a dll hiding in program files? There has to be a way to stop these annoying pop-ups.

Sorry - I didn't see the sticky on this and will try it first. Corel is the ONLY program that has these pestering ads. I have other photo editing software and I might get an occasional email with a special offer but not this.

I'm sorry Mr. Lin, but your response is sorely lacking. "Not comfortable" does not do justice to the annoyance I have felt every day looking for a solution to your ridiculous advertising malware. To top it all off, you have to dig around the internet, then deal with your forum, then get the instructions from the forum, and then perform the instructions to rid yourself of the ads.

If you had any decency, or sense for your customers, you would include an easy link to disable in the adware/malware/whatever in the ad itself. That is easily done.

Please don't foist your garbage ads on your customers anymore.

I have deleted VideoStudio and will stop using Corel products...

Thanks for listening....
