Please help!

[Betty]

I know this is not on subject entirely, however I can use whatever
suggestions you may have. I cannot stand another pop-up, spam or those
small gray boxes that also pop-up. Does anyone have a suggestion of a
program they are using to stop this insanity? If so could you also tell me
why you chose this particular program. I need to do something soon. I am
ready to bounce the computer right out the window.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for any help you might give. Betty

Install a firewall like Zonealarm or Kerio or activate the built-in XP
Firewall.

You have not cross posted to enough groups to get a good reply.

If you use google regularly, like most people in here, I would highly
recommend forgetting all those programs and simply install the new google
toolbar. It blocks pop-ups nicely, and lets you search directly from a
toolbar. Everything you'll ever need is right there. Here's the link:

http://toolbar.google.com/

I personally use my own custom built program called B Gone
(www.it-mate.co.uk/support/bgone) as it is keyword based, unlike most
others. So if I find a website or popup that I don't want to allow, I just
add a keyword(s) from it to the B Gone list, and boom... it's gone before it
loads :o)

Unfortunately the Google tool bar will not stop the messenger popups -
for that you need a firewall....

if you use netscape you will get almost no pop ups-internet explorer lets
anything through-at least this is true with the default settings
