Anyways, try and invest in a good HOSTS file. Maybe thats why I don't see any: http://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/ or http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm -- *IMPORTANT*: Sorry folks, but I cannot provide email help!!!!

It showed up on the Windows 7 tray and I went to it and copied this URL from the top of the popup window: http://cdn.optmd.com/V2/62428/177341/index.html?g=AQABYm8 =&r=www.azcentral.com/news/ This somehow pops under despite having popups blocked and adblock. I get one of these almost every time I go to that site. I also vote in those surveys all the time. Maybe I shouldn't do that.

Quivis, can you explain what this Greasemonkey does? I don't want to put something on my computer I don't know anything about. I also would like to get rid of that d**n Netflick pop-up. It's very bothersome. |
