I watched Tech TV in its heyday plus some informational newsletters so
your try at trying to make it look like you are the only person on
earth knows not to log in as administrator......matter of fact I would
bet the majority of people here know that so I'm sorry you don't get
that pat on the back you are so desparately looking for.

Matter of fact oh pale one I think it would be a good guess that you
just learned that and are strutting your feathers rather humorously as
a matter of fact.

By the way genious why take the long way when it is much faster to get
there through help and support on your start menu. "Its the tiny
oblong box with the colorful logo and the letters "Start" on it which
by the way I can show you how to put a picture of your mug in their
instead of the start with the logo but I am guessing if the word start
was gone you would sit their staring blankly at the screen not knowing
what to do.......so we better skip the techy stuff with
you......lol.....

I am guessing that you are probably infested with spyware please stop
opening yourself up to cheap shots......I will type this very slow you
can follow me.....adaware is a program SPYWARE is the bad guy you
emphasized with a'"NEVER" have more adware installed (I think you may
be looking for infected here genious not installed) And I am sorry but
the fact that YOU don't use adaware doesn't mean allot to me when it
is the largest completely free spyware program. I use a couple of
layers of protection and feel quite secure thanks.

As much as it pains me I suppose I should say thank you for actually
trying to be helpful. It was nice of you and I have to admit I
expected you to volunteer to send me something very helpful which
accidentally infects my computer with some ten year old virus.

Seriously thank you for trying to be helpful but get out of the dark
ages, the hackers are getting smarter at an alarming rate and anyone
using a Microsoft product for all around protection should rethink
their plan. Microsoft is still plugging holes at a rapid pace and
there seems to be no end to the number of holes in XP, take that for
my well meaning advice.

I don't pretend to be a wizard at the computer but I suggest you find
someone else to duel with about computing.

After all I was trying to help someone who I wasn't sure knew about
spyware and pop up blockers and lets face it you were trying to make
me look like a dunce buy you know that hat fits you much better maybe
you could take a picture for us.

Brandy, why put yourself through the Drama.

Checkout my fullproof method in Reply to Brad in this thread.

The method I explain is what corporate America uses.
It is far superior to a proggy, not to mention, it takes less pc
resource.
Less time.

Good Luck

You know I used Pow for quite awhile shortly after they came out, I
think they had another program I used too. You are right it is a
wonderful blocker once you have it loaded which isn't really that hard
to do. I did like the idea of it never blocking something that I
didn't want blocked.

I think I made the switch to googles blocker when they came out with
their toolbar which included it. I think its the best of the rest but
as I said POW is the best, I will admit and warn the other reason I
switched was that something happened to POW and I didn't have it
backed up. I had over a thousand pop ups in thier when I lost it. I"m
not really good at backing things up but I don't have allot of things
worthy of backing up except my  mail which is why I went to Googles
web based email program too so I never have to worry about backing up
because its always out there.

I should get serious about backups though as I am paying most of my
bills online now but again all the info is stored at the website so
losing it is not much of a concern especially if you use a program
like RoboForm which is my all time favorite program. Its the very
first thing I install on a new computer or if I have to reprogram
windows for some reason. It creates and stores passwords and logins up
to level nine which I think is 50 characters which most websites cant
handle anyway.

Wow Brandy sorry for the book I didn't mean to babble on quite so
much. But Pow brought me back to a better place, to a world of warm
summer days and soft breezes and butterflies flitting around and the
first Robin of the year with the sounds of.........blah blah blah
blah........lol.....
