    I use Avant Browser which is basically a program that piggybacks off of Internet Explorer and works great. Even has a pop blocker included.

    also... I recommend Spybot Search & Destroy over Adaware... and if you use Spybot, after you install it, be sure to search for updates, then scan your system.

    I out smarted Microsoft with there nusance ads. Added the following into: TOOLS-Internet Options-Connection-Lan Settings-Advanced

    Check the "Bypass proxy server for local addresses"



    Then Click on (TOOLS-Internet Options-Connection-Lan Settings-)Advanced

    Adding this string to the Exceptions "Do not use the proxy server for these addresses list:"

    global.msads.net;*ADS*;*rad.msn.*;sc.msn.com;http.content*;ssl1.speedera.net;view.atdmt.com;www.businessweek.com/ads

    All their stupid dating adds etc. vanish!

    add them into that box and you will stop pop ups and all the ads that come up on the screen from MSN.

    man....do I sound like a geek or what? Here...this will top it off. [​IMG]
