FAO Credit Card. . . . . Re- Pop Ups

Stevie.


If you are receiving alot of pop ups when on the net, it is highly likely that you have spyware on your PC. It is not something to worry too much about as:



  1. Everyone has spyware of some form on their PC's at some point.
  2. Kazza (everyone has used it at some point) is littered with Spyware and the newest version of Kazza (2.0 upwards) cannot operate without the SpyWare being active on your PC.
  3. It would be impossible now to browse the net without being hit with some form of SpyWare Trojans etc.

To fight back against the Spyware, Trojans etc....I would recommend everyone to download and run an Anti SpyWare Program. There are a few on the net and I would recommend "SpyBot - Search and Destroy" another good one is "Adware".
I've included a link to SpyBot. Simply download the program and once downloaded, install it on your PC and run it. It will scan your PC and delete all your nasty SpyWare. You should run it at least once a week to keep your PC up to speed.


Download - SPYBOT SEARCH AND DESTROY


Word of warning to Kazza 2.0 users.
If you run SpyBot you will not be able to use Kazza after deleting your Spyware as Kazza 2.0 is SpyWare dependant. Kazza Lite users will be OK as it is still SpyWare Free.

Prevention is always better than a cure. So protect yourselves better with a FireWall. There is a decent free Firewall from ZoneLabs called Zone Alarm. It will run in the background when you are browsing the net and will prevent most Spyware and most if not all Trojans. You can download it free here:


Download Zone Alarm Free


Remember that not all Pop Ups are created by SpyWare.
eg
This Forum is free and therefore when you enter it you will receive 1 pop-up, so is our password protected page. So please do not instantly think that ever pop-up requires you to reach for your Anti SpyWare Program.


Cheers

Life is hard and so am I
you better give me something
so I dont die 
Adaware for the soul
before I sputter out.


Life is white and I am black 
Spybot and his lawyer
are coming back


Life is good and I feel great
'cause google pop up blocker 
shuts the gate


Novovaine for the soul
you better give me something
to fill the hole
before I sputter out

I have added a security page to the site. Follow the download processes and your PC will be a Pop-Up free, virus kicking speed merchant.

I for one do not use Pop Up Killers because I do not get Pop Ups. The secret is in your security measures:



  • Adware scanners

  • Firewalls

  • Virus Software

  • and most importantly - keepeing the above three Up-To-Date
