jasJis Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Ad-Aware and Spybot find them and remove them after they get through. They get in w/ permission as 'safe' cookies or when you install software or even in advertising e-mails. I use PanicWare's pop-up blocker as well. I run XP which has a fire-wall. I do not buy programs that I can get free. You can get free everything. Use PC Mag and read their reviews. You can visit them on-line. I'm using a free anti-virus program that scored better than anything else out there in a test that PC Shopper ran. Stuff will get through no matter what. Utilities block some salvos, limit the damage, remove the offense, and repair. If it's legal and free, it's for you and me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
