ad-aware just lets you scan for adwares after they've been installed on your cpu
try going to astalavista and see how many pop-ups you run into
(before i installed ad muncher i was gettin barraged by em) not 1 now

oh yeah, and a good hosts file helps too, but you kinda gotta build it to your preferences

well since i have used it i have been getting 95% less popups also i use a web browser called phaseout it has a popup blocker installed so between the two im getting little to no pupups

You should try this one.
It's actually smileysoftware to brighten up your e-mail but it comes with a pop-up stopper and some fun games as well.can't go wrong with this,can you?

And the pop-up blocker really works!And it's all free,btw.

I use PopUp Block 1.65 which blocks 100% of popups.

I did the test and PopUp Block 1.65 passed everything.

For Win, right now it's Firebird 0.7. If and when you install the Java bundle, you
will probably want to disable the cache, exploit.
The best browsers I can think of for security run in Linux. Dillo 300k browser and
GLinks are good for minimalist interet.
But with Windows, it's definetly going to be the latest Firebird build. Also, run
Spybot S&D to clean out the registry. It will detect certain lines in the reg that other
free apps will not. If you've never used it, you'll probably be surprised to see what
it finds.
