Hi guys! I have a really quick question for you...HOW DO I GET RID OF THE DAMN ADVERTISEMENT POPUPS?

Do I have to download certain adwares to keep advertisers out for GOOD? What are the simple steps that I have to take to keep invaders out of my computer?

If so feel free to share your knowledge...It will be MUCH appreciated!

To stop browser popups, either get a pop-up blocker for your current browser, or get a different browser with a built in pop-up blocker. To rid your pc of spyware/adware, download Spybot and Ad-Aware

And... get yourself a hardware-firewall, ie, D-Link etc. Then go for Norton Security 2004 etc! And as mentioned above, get Ad-Aware Pro and de-worm every week...
