I found a good free one for those that are looking.

http://www.panicware.com/product_downloads.html (scroll down to the free one)

The pay one is also very good I hear...

For IE I use Yahoo's. Of course, I use Netscape a lot now, and they have one built in.

I just go into the security options and turn off the Java, cut and paste, and scripting allowances. I have yet to get a pop up. sights wiorth frequenting go into the trusted sites area.

I use IE by the way.

I get NO pop ups, and save my $

You have to be a trusted site to work with all the scripts you have running. I put it on "notify" one day. Shesh, it darn near turned me into a yes man!

About all I have running are the basic firewall, and antivirus for this site.

What I really hate is Parasite ware. Stuff that you get for free, but has a "spy" app that runs in the background.

Netzero and them are upfront about it, but there are several that are pretty sneaky. Some one posted the URL to a good "cleaner" app. to spot these and clear them. I found that most of my spy whatzits belonged to media or shopping sites I go thru.
