Most of the spam etc people get is from cookies that have been installed on your hard drive. I use Spy Bot and Adaware and am fairly vigilant with using them. I get very little spam or pop ups. You need to be aware that you can go to a site and have a pop up that didn't originate at that site. Download Adaware, its free and do lots of updates. Go to your cookies and delete almost all of them, you only need a few. Go to your "temporary cookies" file and delete everything there. Adaware will also discover some of the spy ware stuff that is in your computer bringing you the junk... a very good value adaware is when you consider it is free. In fact, you can delete all your cookies but it means you will have to resign in to the forums you belong to. Go to "tools" at the top of your screen, then "internet options", then to delete cookies - this will get rid of your temporary cookies only. Then tab on "start" , then "find", then type in cookies, and that will take you to your cookies file, and start deleting. Some of you will be at it for hours... lol. If you're lazy, run adaware first which will get rid of many cookies, then delete the rest.
