    1) Download and run:

    Adaware
    Spybot

    2) Then download and install Mozilla Firefox.

    3) Never use Internet Exploder again.

    :)

    It wasn't a security problem with firefox, it was a security problem with windows that firefox opened. It was patched within an hour of being found to be a security vulnerability. Those big holes that were exploited in IE last month still haven't been patched.

    Yeah, I've seen that one too, but I thought johndoe was referring to the one I made the thread about.

    Still waiting on those IE patches . . .

    http://toolbar.google.com

    Yahoo and MSN also have pop-up blocking toolbars.

    They also make the google toolbar for Mozilla Firebird.

    It is in your registry - unless you REALLY know what you are doing, I recommend you let adaware try to take care of it.
