I've had nothing but problems like you guys are complaining about ever since I started frequenting and posting on Kalmbach's Forums-both this one and "Scale Auto"s. I too have XP, have installed SpyBot S&D, MeAfee, Norton firewall, and Google's popup bloker. I have all of the Windows updates for XP installed. I use MSN for email, use Internet Explorer 6, and am hooked up to Adelphia's hi-speed cable modem access. I esp. have problems w/ a bizarre program that inserts itself surrounding key words, like car, hotel, jobs, gifts, jobs, travel, meds, adware,and so on. It has www.targetwords.com in the body of the insertion, and whenever I need to edit a posting and one of those key words is in the text, the word is highlighted in 'blue' and underlined in a freehand sort of way. Do not click on it if you see that , for it will open up a full screen that promises to search for that particular subject. It can be hard to get rid of it after you open it , and all of the bandaids are not effective at fixing it. There's a particularly aggressive full screen popup that repeats itself, one on top of the other, for as many as twenty or more 'layers', and it will crash your PC in the process.(it's prescriptions-R-us.biz (located in Hialeh, FL) Also, Spy Detector (located in Atlanta, GA ) is doing the same thing, but has settled down into just an annoying popup. I have filed complaints w. the FTC and emailed those companies, as well as threatened legal action against the med. company when I got them on the phone. It makes it impossible to work at home sometimes, and since that is my only place to work, it really sucks ! MSN has ignored my emails re: these problems. It's interesting that the same aggressive popups I've described are adverising on MSN's home page. Perhaps that greedy sob Gates knows whar he's doing, for we'll have to once again upgrade to a newer system, because XP is so compromised and has as many holes as a 4x8 sheet of pegboard. Right now there's a "Get a Free $50 Gift" popup that I can not close on the screen. Kalmbach is possiby a contributor to the problem, for certain quirks only happen on their Forums. I think we need to insist that they address this. it's not good for (their) business. BILL
