have you thought about setting your cookies to prompt and block.
try this.
open internet options
tools
privacy tab- advanced
check override cookie handling
first party cookies check prompt
third party cookies check block.
check allow session cookies .
these are my settings and i dont have popups.
if a site wants to place a cookie on your sys it will prompt you so you have the option to allow it or not that way you can keep the popups down to a minimum.
hey i just posted this some where else.
OR may be you are having trouble with messenger that creates popups

recently i posted about not being able to install win98
and that the sys wasnt recognising the drive.and it wasnt bringing up the driver.for the cd rom
well i have egg on my face.and it is very embarrassing.the connection from the cd rom wasnt plugged in to the mother board.
and the reason im posting this is to appoligise to the posters who tried to help.
the friend who i tried to help must have disconnected it and didnt tell me tho i should have known.the signs were there.
ive thought about it all day.any one else had mistakes like this
thanks to all who posted

Has anybody tried the free EZ Trust that come on the SP1 disk from Microsoft? Put it on my second (new) computer until I get Norton SystemWorks. Also installed it on the nephew's computer about a month ago.
Any experiences with it---good or bad?
is this appli on sp2 as well.
i have sp2 now and when it scanned my sys it recognise my avg scanner.but i didnt refer o the one you mentioned.i might google it
thanks
marty

its great how people have thier dislikes and favourites ,when dealing .
virus scanners.how does the poster know if avg is ok or not if he hasent tried it
is it because it is free.there seems to be a conception if it is free it is no good.
well i was a member of the techtv board for some years and over 60 percent were using avg.it is equal to any paid one.i treid avast but it kept taking a dll file out
i like it but i couldnt fix the dll file problem.so i went back to avg.
and it is as good as any.
the poster needs to read the board to see how many use avg and not speculate
marty
if he can afford to pay for one go for it

2. Bad Bot – WORM_SDBOT.VQ (Low Risk)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
WORM_SDBOT.VQ is a memory-resident worm that spreads via network shares,
and exploits specific vulnerabilities to propogate across networks. It
also gathers available lists of names and passwords, and uses this gathered
information to locate and list shared folders where it drops a copy of
itself. This worm has backdoor capabilities and attempts to connect to an
Internet Relay Chat (IRC) server to allow a remote user to access the infected
system and perform malicious commands. WORM_SDBOT.VQ runs on Windows
NT, 2000, and XP.
Upon execution, this memory-resident worm drops a copy of itself in the
Windows System directory as EXPLORER32.EXE. It adds registry entries to
enable this dropped copy to run at every Windows startup. It then creates
several threads to be used for sniffing, keylogging, and other backdoor
capabilities. It also attempts to send copies of itself to other systems as
BLING.EXE.
This worm spreads via network shares. It gathers available lists of
names and passwords, and uses this gathered information to locate and list
shared folders where it drops a copy of itself. It then attempts to access
systems with weak passwords to drop a copy of itself. You may view the list
of usernames and passwords in the Technical Details section of this virus
description at http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyc...DBOT.VQ&VSect=T

Execute a file
Download from HTTP and FTP URL
Open a command shell
Open files
Display the driver list
Get screen capture

2. Worms are not Blue - WORM_BLUEWORM.F (Low Risk)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
WORM_BLUEWORM.F is a memory-resident worm that propagates via email. It deletes registry entries and files associated with antivirus programs, and also terminates certain processes associated with various antivirus applications. This worm is currently spreading in-the-wild and infecting systems running Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 and XP.
Upon execution, it drops a copy of itself in the Windows system folder using 10 different file names. It then creates the folder, %Windows%\VOLUME, where it drops a copy of itself using the same file name as any file found in the Windows folder. This worm also drops another copy of itself as %Program Files%\Internet Explorer\Media Player.exe. Some of the dropped files are compressed using the WinZip application.
In order to send email messages, this worm drops and registers the file OSSMTP.DLL in the Windows system folder. In the same folder, it also drops the following non-malicious files:
about.txt
About_BlackWorm.C.txt
Music09.rm
Special.rm
Vide01.jpg
This worm creates registry entries that allow it to execute at every Windows startup. In addition, it searches the local area network for shared network drives that are write-enabled and drops copies of itself in accessed shares using the file name GOOD MUSIC.SCR.
This worm propagates by sending a copy of itself via email to all addresses listed in the MSN and Yahoo messenger applications. It also obtains target email addresses from files containing the following extension names:
HTM
DBX
The email message that it sends out has the following details:
From:
. Bad Love

as a diabetec i know what it is like to diet
for your health or to be seen at the health clubs
people who get help from some one else to diet dont really want to to lose weight .
they like to be seen going throught the motions.
if any one wants to lose weight for health reasons
do it for your own good.
tho if i hadent got diabetes
not sure if id followed the rules

does any one think the weather is because of global warming.
or is it a result of natural weather patterns
to me this phenonimen seems to be world wide
tho the area these storms are in has a pattern over the years.if it is caused by global warming can you expect more and worse.
i think the world has to clean up its act or natural patterns wil be a force to be reckoned with in the future.
where i live this sort of weather is rare.tho parts of my country does get the od big storm.
i sympathise with the repicipients of a storm caused by nature
what can you do.when the strongest force in the universe is comming at you
