The BEST solution for getting rid of alot of this stuff is
1) Firewalls
2) Virus software
3) ad and spy software
4) GET RID OF INTERNET EXPLORER AND MOVE TO FIREFOX

Absolutly. Since I installed Firefox, I've had no spam or pop-up problems.

"GET RID OF INTERNET EXPLORER AND MOVE TO FIREFOX"

I second that. Haven't had a pest in months.

That would be great except that on my regular SpyBot 1.3.1 S&D daily scan I get a lot of tracking cookies being loaded via Firefox. It won't take long before someone figures out a way to load spyware into Firefox.

Moved all my machines to Firefox last week. I've been telling all my friends about it. The only downside is that my default mail is hotmail (I have four addresses) and I lose a lot of formatting capabilities, especially when replying to a message.

Tough.
