GenoTex Prowler Junkie Posts: 8492 From: Oakfield, WI, USA Registered: MAR 2002	posted 10-20-2005 08:17 AM I switched to firefox browser long ago... cut WAY down on all my pop-ups regardless of where I am... rarely get any on POA. However, if/when I open with IE then they come like flies to a cow patty.... http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

vipercat Prowler Enthusiast Posts: 16 From: Ostrander, Ohio, USA Registered: NOV 2004	posted 10-20-2005 03:33 PM Almost certainly spyware. Go to Google (or any search engine) and search for either "Spybot" or "Adaware". Both are spyware removal tools and work very well. Go to the appropriate website and download and install the software. Both are free, but they ask for donations (I consider a donation money well spent). After installation on your computer, run the "update" feature to make sure that it has the latest spyware definitions and then run the software to check your system. It will flag any spyware it finds and will remove any spyware you want removed. Be carefull using the "immunization" feature in Spybot as it may block some things that you want. P.S. Be sure to look at the "Readme" file that comes with the software. -Jim BTW: You may be amazed at how much spyware is on your system. ------------------ vipercat (Y2k Silver Cat)

Mr. Monahan, There is purple but it looks more like mud since the pixel count is so low.

I've used both Spybot and AdAware and I think the MS product blows both of them away - at least the free versions.
