[brkofdon]

For a pop-up blocker Firefox (http://mozilla.org)
For adware/spyware Ad-aware,microsoft antispyware,spysweeper
get them here Nsane.tk (http://nsane.tk)

Opera has a built in pop-up blocker. :01:

Pop-up Blockers

For IE: Google Toolbar (http://toolbar.google.com/)
Other: Mozilla Firefox 1.0 (http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/)

Adware / Spyware Removal

Ad-Aware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/)

SpyBot S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html)

Spy Sweeper (http://www.webroot.com/products/spysweeper/)

I recommend using all 3 ad/spyware software.

Yup good pop up blocker would be the mozilla browser ( havent seen a pop up in along while because of it :D )

For IE , google toolbar seems to be the only good free one.... but some pop ups from some sites have been able to bypass it....

With IE just get the service pack 2 and a pop up blocker adds onto IE and it works great but overall I just use firefox

For a pop up blocker and ads blocker, use Supertrick XG 1.6, its an excellent utility that blocks millions of unwanted ad servers and scam sites.
Supertrick Xg (http://www.filesharingplace.com/supertrickxg/main.htm)

As for a browser pop-up blocker I use maxthon which also has a web ads blocker, float ad blocker and an activex blocker.You can get it @
Maxthon (http://www.maxthon.com)

For adware and spyware I use Ad-Aware and Spybot Search & Destroy. Both are excellent and free. You can also get it @ nsane's site (www.nsane.tk)

AdMuncher is teh pwnage of all popup/ad blockers :01:
i use it along with firefox's blocker

look around....there are "working" versions out there ;)
(or else cough up 24.95 for it)

but i would can that spybot BS in favor of pest patrol...just my opinion :P
spybot's support/updates has always been shit
yeah, i know, its free...but so is ad-aware....
and they have at least decent support/updates
find a corp version of PP, v4.4 preferably (v5 kinda went downhill IMO)

this is my list of security goodies installed atm:

AdMuncher
Ad-Aware SE (personal)
Mail Washer Pro
PestPatrol Corp 4.4
SpywareBalster
Sygate Personal Firewall Pro
Symantec AV Corp v9
Trojan Hunter 4
Webroot Spysweeper

I see Spybot has a beta out .Ver 1.4 I think ? http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Spybot_Search_and_Destroy/1043809773/1

I like your choice of Antivirus ! :01:

[brkofdon]

FKDUP74 - wow you have all that installed...is it necessary to have all that installed.

what does everyone think of Norton? maybe along with firefox with Adblock? you think thats a good combo of apps to use

[kazaaman]

You can also use free AVG which is excellent or NOD32 which has an unprecedented detection rate and uses very little system resources.

yup, and more on the way :P :lol:
still looking to find an AV that will play well with symantec (for a second opinion scanner)

see....thing is....not all apps will catch everything
an antivirus is....well....an antivirus :P
not always the best for trojans, and not really worth a squat for spy/adware
spyware apps all seem to detect different spywares...
none of them catch em all
so i try to get the best performing apps...
as many as it takes...
to get the best level of security i can

and even then, common sense is still the main rule
you can double the amount of security apps i got...shit, triple the #...
and still get infected if you dont watch what you do

fuck u jacob....just switch browsers and get firefox.lol :01:
