Here is a simple fix to those nasty popus. Just do a google scan on "HOSTS", without the quotes. You will find how it controls your browsing. I did this and it makes my life much easier.

Just replace the "HOSTS" file in your Windows system. Here is the location of it, %systemroot$\system32\\drivers\etc with one that I can provide, for free! Or you can make your own. It is only 410k in size. And you can look at it with any Text editor, to check it out! Just freep me if you want it and I can provide you a URL to Download it, for free!

You are wasting time clicking Drudge. He WAS good but now he is just like all the others.

Drudge got greedy. Don't give him the hits.

I just started using Firefox, and I'm still getting popups. I'll have to do a deep clean on my computer and see if that fixes the problem. Firefox doesn't fix something that's already broken, I guess. LOL!
