RE: DAM POP UPS
Look. Get all 3, update all 3, scan with all 3 and the problem is solved. There is no need to say one is better since unlike antiviruses the more you use the better.
The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true. |

I'm not so sure. A lot of spyware uses ActiveX to get installed, and FF doesn't support it without an add-on. |

Some extensions have popped up for Firefox which are attempted to be forcefully installed and add search bars and display popups etc  The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true. |

Is it just me, or is IE with SP2 better than Firefox in blocking pop-ups?
Tell me if you don't get any pop-up when you open this site using Firefox without any additional extension. Registered 7884 days, 21 hours, 58 minutes, 29 seconds ago.

RE: DAM POP UPS
I can't believe you guys forgot about this program: Spyware Blaster.
That will stop all the warnings coming up saying, "Do you want to install so and so". It only stops the baddies and has a HUGE database.
I have never gotten a bad install since! And I don't get spyware/adware etc any more.
