Hi Dan,

I think he means just to use Mozilla instead.

The Google Toolbar is helpful (as is the MSN Toolbar), the next version of

Internet Explorer
(that will be arriving in Windows XP Service Pack 2) will automatically

have a pop-up
blocker.

I'd suggest you run a scan on either Adware or Spybot to detect any

applications that might
be bringing up these popups (http://www.lavasoft.de/support/download,
http://spybot.eon.net.au/index.php?l...&page=download respectively).

Well so far the prompt hasn't come back, so I'll
say thank you.

However......I have another issue with pop up SPAM
appearing on the desktop. A friend suggested I download
the Google toolbar to prevent them.

I did, and it is counting the number of blocked ads, however others

keep
showing up. What can be done
to get rid of these nasty pests?
