Anti-spyware / Anti-virus / Pop-up killers / Firewall Info !
Responding to a post in another forum where a poster is seriously annoyed by all the internet pop ups and related intruding software I made this post which I hope will help others (others can feel free to also add indo).

As far as pop ups and related are considered I use following;

I) If you have AOL then you get for free;
- McAfee (for viruses and also firewall)
(keyword virus)
-also download AOL 9.0 Security Edition S.E.
(AOL's Response for viruses, spaware and providing firewall)
(1. keyword ; 2. type 'upgrade')
-AOL also provides ; AOl Computer Check-Up and AOL Spyware protecton
_____

Outside of AOL
_____

II) Get Microsoft's works (1.anti-spyware; 2.fire wall)

-Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2)
("Get better protection against viruses, hackers, and worms. This service pack includes Windows Firewall, Pop-up Blocker for Internet Explorer, and the Windows Security Center.")

- Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware (Beta)
("Download our new anti-spyware software to help protect your PC from spyware and other potentially unwanted software.") (also effectively kills pop ups)

both can be downloaded here (again free)

www.microsoft.com/athome/...fault.mspx
______

III) Get Lavasoft Ad-Aware
( from AOL; 1. Services; 2. Download Center; 3. Type anti spyware)
(direct download (again fro free): here)
________

IV) also for pop up blocking try google's toolbar

ps: I for one have all of those installed and for pop ups using two things, google toolbar and Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware (second one kills most of the pop ups). Very rarely do any of the pop ups get away and show up in front of me on the screen (those would be usually some new versions of pop ups but microsoft keep the software updates realtime on its own). therefore start downloading and stop freaking out and the pop up and related nightmare will almost fully disappear. BTW Forum Pop ups are from ezboard or other companies and not me (I didnt create this forum for financial reasons).

Less Balkanian Dogmatic Paranoia.
More Rational Ancient Hellenic Wisdom.
