IE (internet Explorer) Has among the worse Spyware filtration software in the world. <br /> <br />If you type in www.trains.com. You may notice for a brief second or two below where it has the status, it says. www.ads234.com <br /> <br />You didn't even type that, But automatically it is redierecting you to a p[op-up ad site! <br /> <br />All because of crap that was installed on your computer. <br /> <br />Here are some Good Ideas. <br /> <br />Forget Spysweeper, Or McAffee Anti-spyware. <br /> <br />ADaware is your best solution, Type in "adaware' in google, and it will take you to the site, the program is free for personal use. <br /> <br />The problem, with Mcafee anti-spyware is that it ONLY uses IE to update, it won't with Netscape or Mozilla, which is absolutely deliberate, and while the page is loading, ti forces you to look at a site, of which your trying to get rid of from your computer <br /> <br />As for browsers- Never us IE again, ever. <br /> <br />Netscape is your alternative, however, Mozilla is your best solution. It doesn't allow programs to install, and doesn't allow for redirections which can lead to millions of pop-ups. <br /> <br />
