“I’m so sick of the pop ups on my computer,” she complained. “Some days, I dread turning it on at all.” Her complaint came as no surprise. Unprotected PCs are pop up magnets… whether they’re popping from honest Web sites in search of additional revenues or spawned by unscrupulous spyware operators out to scam the last possible buck. Annoying as pop ups are, they’re easily prevented…
One of the best side benefits of my simple anti-spyware routine is to keep all (not just some) pop ups off my PC. By shutting down the avenues for those nefarious ne’er-do-wells, I’ve shut down all the pops.
Much of my routine is based on avoiding Microsoft Internet Explorer. But I realize that some folks aren’t ready to switch to a more resilient browser. That’s where the pop up blockers come into play.
