How about not clicking on any popups.

I'm not trying to be heartless, cruel or insulting, but anyone who clicks
on the "Get Rich Quick Now" or "Last Chance To Buy This" or whatever
deserves what they get.

Let's face it folks, there are some real morons out there using computers.
The "Nigerian Money Scam" has raked in an estimated 10 million dollars
last I heard (based on the reports of idiots who fell for it.).

Caveat emptor.

Or, better still, a fool and his money are soon parted.
