Briefly. Make sure you are running a firewall. Run something like Adaware or
SpyBot S&D on your computer to clean out all the spyware junk, then install
a pop up stopper such as the excellent free one from Google. You may also
want to review your privacy and security settings in Internet Explorer and
take advantage of using the trusted Web Content Zoned for your oft visited
safe sites while increasing levels on internet zone. --- Steve
