for IE, i'd go woth the google toolbar. For elimenating the spyware, use spybot Search and Destroy and Ad-Aware

[COLOR=indigo][B]I agree... google toolbar for control and kill your spyware... however, if you're using kazza I suggest being careful what you delete or it won't work any more... I have been using [URL=http://www.shareaza.com/]SHAREAZA[/URL] as it doesn't have all that crap attached. [/B][/COLOR]

Avant Browser, Mozilla, Opera, etc. all feature popup killers. It's up to you to make the switch, and the Google Toolbar works fairly well for IE, but at the same time, it doesn't actually eliminate IE's security loopholes. ;)

I think this guy was talking about those annoying totally grey popups you get from not even being on the net. This will get rid of it, Ad-aware 6.0 the Savior of spyware killers.
