In addition to Adaware, I browse behind a personal firewall. I get an occasional pop-up (one last night - the first in weeks), and very little other advertising. I connected 24 hrs a day. When I encounter a particularly troublesome site, I block it entirely with firewall settings.
Now, if I could just solve the spam problem without changing email addresses. -gwt -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nolan Penney Sent: Tuesday, June 08, 2004 3:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: "HELP" non lbc The number of popups I get with the google toolbar installed on my computers belays the notion that it's a great stopper of said popups. Firefox, which is installed on one of my computers is no more resistant to popups then Explorer or Opera. It also has serious problems with many of the add ins, like shockwave and such. It also doesn't like printing in frame information, such as account balances. It is more stable then Explorer though. Adaware is a good piece of freeware, but don't stop there, you tend to need a plethora of freeware programs to better rid a computer of addware and spyware. I personally also run Spybot Search & Destroy, and Spyware Sweeper. All three will pick up different things. And this is all when running behind a Novel server firewall, and with Symantech's virus protection. Yet in spite of it all, I still regularly get clobbered with spyware, addware, popups, viruses, etc. *** http://www.team.net/the-local *** Your messages not reaching the list?
