Is it just me, or are there suddenly a lot more 
(and a lot more aggressive) popups coming up on 
this forum? I can't even look at the board 
without firing up my anti-pop software (which 
slows down my computer pretty badly, which is why 
I don't use it all the time), lest I suddenly 
have ClockSync, Weatherbug and a whole bunch of 
other crap thoughtfully install itself on my 
computer without asking my permission. 
Particularly annoying is a program called POP!, 
which has taken it upon itself to remake my 
browser in its own graven image.  And I thought 
the Bonzi buddy was bad...
If it's just me, then I'll have to do a really in-
depth scan to see if I have spyware hiding on my 
computer somewhere, though I doubt that's it; 
AdAware and a hand search haven't come up with 
anything to stop this.  If anyone else is having 
the same difficulty, please let me know!  |
