I'm a Windows One Care Live beta tester and it takes care of all of that type of stuff automatically, but I think there's a program called Adaware that will handle it for you for free. But every time you use that program it will remind you to pay for the full version. I think Windows Defender also does the same thing for free, and it integrates.
Now, if we could only get rid of your signature from doing the same thing over and over again. I have it blocked on Firefox, but I'm at work right now.
And if you had a mac, there's lot of other things you wouldn't have, too. Like a penis.
How's your fiancee doing, Charles?

Most websites defeat Firefox/Safari popup blocker.

With Opera 9 I've never gotten a pop-up/under or any spyware. But I suspect this may also be from aggressive cookie rules and frequent temp/cache file clearing.

All my software is legal.
I get it from all the porn sites I go to.
Which is a lot.

I never have pop ups, and I just use the stock pop up blocker in safari.
