    i don't remember installing any software or scripts that will make my site to have pop ups. last month, someone tried to hack my site, changing some of the pictures on my site and even putting this white guy picture - i am not sure if that was him.

    i was able to resolve that issue, changed my passwords and ban the ip that last loggin to my cpanel. and then i noticed few days ago that some of my page have pop-ups.

    how can i disabled those? how can i locate it on my files?

    will appreciate your help. thanks!

    It could be a ad you have on site. Some ads or banners have pop ups.

    Your computer could have pop up on it. Scan computer then check site for any code. I would right click view source on any page pop ups are on. Then go and fix it.

    if your site has indeed been hacked, i would look at upgrading the software you are using to the latest version.

    Also what rcj662 said - run a spyware/adware scanner on your machine to make sure your machine itself itsn't infected.

    Look through your source files for any javascript or calls to any javascript in which you didn't implement.

    If you don't get any popups looking at other sites then its pretty likely your actual home machine is not infected and someone has inserted their popup ads into your site's source files. You can also check the last time in which the files were changed for further indication.
