| 455726 | 2006-05-18 10:24:00 | hi, my friend gets random popups for dating and porn sites just when surfing anywhere, i'm guessing its a spyware thing but i installed stopzilla which seems to stop them, anyone know of any other GOOD popup blockers? | Jimmy D (2061) | ||
| 455727 | 2006-05-18 10:31:00 | Chances are they are being served up from the machine itself, If thats the case Popup blockers will do nothing, You need to rid the machine of the installed adware. | Metla (12) | ||
| 455728 | 2006-05-18 10:32:00 | If your mate has spyware or adware The easiest way, is to remove the entries / files on his system. Get him to get the file in my sig below, if he's on the net, and post the log here. Or get S&D (www.spybot.info) Download the 1st and 2nd file under download. I doubt a popup blocker would fix it. |

| 455729 | 2006-05-18 10:43:00 | After you have removed all the spyware, get him to download firefox at www.mozilla.com | wmoore (6009) | ||
| 455730 | 2006-05-18 10:45:00 | also check your antivirus and firewall ! | tweak'e (69) | ||
| 455731 | 2006-05-18 11:02:00 | Netscape (newest version) has a pop up blocker AND also anti-virus and anti-spyware. Free. | Strommer (42) | ||
| 455732 | 2006-05-18 11:08:00 | Google Toolbar would serve as an excellent pop-up blocker -> http://toolbar.google.com/ Cheers :) |

| 455734 | 2006-05-18 23:17:00 | I havn't used Netscape for years, last version I used was pre Mozilla and was horribly slow and bloated. Firefox all the way! |
