|
|
Has anyone had a problem with Kerry soliciting, through a popup ad, when you try to reach this website? I had some difficulty getting on tonight and this annoying popup, with Kerry's face kept appearing. It disturbed me to think, someone might be trying to deter anyone from going to this site. _________________ Born on the Fourth of July |

It sounds like spyware.
Download and install adaware and SpyBot to get rid of all that stuff.
And if you're running Windows XP, there's a new service pack available that's supposed to contain an excellent pop-up blocker. _________________ ~ Echo Juliet ~

http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ I would download firefox. It has built in Pop-Up Blocker and lots of enchantments, I use if whenever I am Running on a Windows Machine.

I got that pop up on my office computer today. Pathetic. _________________ "And no pair has been more wrong, more loudly, more often, than the two Senators from Massachusetts, Ted Kennedy and John Kerry"

Another forum I visit regularly (it has nothing at all to do with Veterans, Bush, Kerry or politics) was hacked into last week. The title of the site had been changed to Republicans for Kerry. Also, the picture on the main site had been replaced with a pic of Kerry. |
