| Super Techie | 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 SHAREAZA as it doesn't have all that crap attached.

| 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. ![]() |
