So Far, So Good.
First, I would like to thank all the great folks who shared their expertise and experience with me with their comments to the previous post.
So, far, I did the CDshredder and installed Spy Blaster. Spy Blaster doesn’t find and remove bad stuff, but rather (so it says) it keeps it away in the first instance. Therefore, later tonight I will run Ad Aware to zap whatever may be sitting around. So far (fingers crossed), the only pop-up I get the one that accompanies the New York Times page. Maybe Ad Aware will zap that one. Maureen Dowd AND pop-ups. What the hell is wrong with me?
Maybe Mozilla next, but I prefer to take baby steps in these matters.
Thanks again. You guys are the best.
If you’re going to insist on reading the NYTimes, download the Google toolbar. It’s not effective against Maureen Dowd, but it will block their annoying pop-ups. And you won’t even notice it’s there.
It also includes a nice little search window that I use a lot. I can instantly Google things without having to stop & find their homepage. Handy as pockets on a shirt it is.
