Tired of pop-ups & spyware?

[JoNo]

I know what you're thinking... here comes another useless pop-up blocker & spy remover thingie. Well, I thought my system was pretty secure till I ran this program... Found 1,700 traces of spyware & pop-up programs & 62 programs! If you aren't already using a removal tool, check this one out: http://download.com.com/3000-8022-10267571.html it's called web root Spy Sweeper & it works well. Best thing is it's free! (unless you want to subscribe to their monthly or weekly updates... then it's $29.95 for one year $39.95 for 2 years) needless to say, if you don't have it, get it! Just thought I'd share this with everyone as it helped me kill ALL my pop-ups & increased my DSL speed too. For you dial-up users it'll really help save your bandwidth!

I downloaded the Google Toolbar maybe two weeks ago, and I am proud to say 187 pop up ads have been blocked!! I haven't gotten any at all...the toolbar works well, and I like have the search engine right there on my toolbar!

Just a be careful for all.I downloaded Spybot and Adware and my computer died. Couldn't get on the internet. Ended up doing a system resume to a date prior to the downloads and everything returned(including the pop ups ) I'll live with them for now!

If you're worried about popups, there's a couple of solutions. Search online for a program called The Proxomitron. It's a freeware proxy server that stops most popups. Or you can switch your browser. Download a copy of either Mozilla or Firefox at Mozilla.org.

I had to do the same thing which is why I tried this program and it works wonders
