More and more sites use pop-ups now. Once you pop the fun just stops...
Try geting some software to prevent some pop-ups (they arent good on all of them). I think Spyware is a pop-up preventer.

Bingo. They will slowly ruin your computer by downloading crap you dont even know about. Be cautious of the Porno.

Keep on moving your mouse.
Or... Change your monitor settings... Not sure how though... My brother takes care of all of that.

Next time use the edit button, and disable sleep under the My Computer settings.

Ok, firs the pop-ups, they are nothing but f**kin' SPYWARE!!! All pop-ups do si "implant" spyware and get in the way of your PC's usefulness. If you have about $45.0 US Dollars, go and Download "ZoneAlarm Pro with PestPatrol" bundle, this is a real lifesaver. After you close your website conections, run PestPatrol and set it to "Auto-Update", this alows PestPatrol to "Patrol" for Spyware, if it finds any (doubleclick cookies, cracking tools etc,etc.) you'll get a notice on our scren and you can choose to "Quarrentine", "Delete", or "Ignore" just like a VirusScan program, EXCEPT PestPatrol goes after SPYWARE, Cracking Tols, and other "Pests" instead of Viruses, you can find out fi someone's trying to hack into your machine with this so that ditches some spyware. As for ZoneAlarm Pro, the new version (3.x) allows you to "Block" pop-up ads and crap on your screen that doesn'ty load in a certain amount of time, however it may prevent you from viewing some websites, use your judgement on this.
Finally as for Porno stes, take that talk somewhere else, not GT.

If you haven't heard of Ad-Aware, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND a download. Just go to www.download.com and search for Ad-Aware. That should help alot. Also, download Ref Update. It updates the reference file for Ad-Aware if there is a new one to keep Ad-Aware up to date on new Spyware to look for.

He (And anyone else, for that matter) is allowed to talk about porno as much as he wants. He just isn't allowed to post pictures of it... |
