Mozilla Firefox + Ad-Aware

Picard: Mr. Crusher, what's our maximum speed this week?
Wesley: [checking manual] Uh, 9.4, sir.
Picard: Very good. Take us to Warp 9.8 then.
Wesley: Aye, sir. Warp 9.2 it is.

I use Spybot and McCaffee- they work well.
Have not tried Firefox or AdAware though.

Definitely Mozilla/Firefox for pop-uplessness.

I'd combine Ad-Aware and Spybot, though. They each find things the other doesn't.

Nobody finds Elite Bar, though, and eventually I slit my wrists.

"Suddenly in your autobiography now" would make a good forum description.

AdAware, Spybot, PestPatrol, and SpySweeper. And if you can't protect your system from ad- & mal- & spyware with those four programs combined, then you should never be allowed near a PC again in your life ever.

Aside from Firefox, I use...

McAfee Anti-Virus
ZoneAlarm
Ad-Aware 6
Spybot: Search and Destroy

--------------------
I'm slightly annoyed at Hobbes' rather rude decision to be much more attractive than me though. That's just rude. - PsyLiam, Oct 27, 2005.
