I'd check with Blackhawk, he makes his living as a computer geek. Do you mean spam or popups? I switched to Firefox and that killed the popups. My ISP's spam filter has always been fantastic so I am no help there.

Bwhahaha, Back on the off topic, I highly recommend getting Firefox or any other browser to reduce pop ups. And for the spam, what are you using Outlook or a web base service

I'm not having any problem with pop-ups. The old lady had something on here for that. It works great. And I'm not really having lots of spam. Just this one jerk-off add. I'm using Outlook for the email deal. Is there anyway I can specifically kill this one jerk-off add? Just target this one company?
Next time I get one I will post what it looks like.

enFORCER, ha ha ha ha ha, I will have to scold the old lady about that. I guess you can't be all that bad........you have a V!!!!! Ha ha ha ha............

not sure if they would be or not, but if they are all coming from the same domain, then you can block the domain with outlook, but with a lot of spam the address is totally random generated.
