I second that notion! Its' the shiznit! haha but then again, I have that along with bazooka, and spybot. Spyware doesn't stand a chance!

Great pop-up blocker. (http://www.panicware.com/)

And as for the spyware, AdAware along with the Spybot is the best combo.

best browser that autoblocks pop-ups as well, should you have something slightly more deep rooted than adware. but yes, spybot and adaware = teh best in adware protection

To clean up your computer from adware and spyware you want a program called Spybot v1.2. It is free, but I ended up donating money to them because they constantly update their database for free (every few days) and it find a lot of stuff that most things don't.

For pop-up blockers, I recommend popup stopper. Easy to use and manage.

Edit: both programs are free and the best on the market.

i have 3 popup blockers running simotaneously. i still get popups. and ive run the first adware remover and it found 30 programs. it just makes my love my imac more and more because this doesn't happen on it.

Anyone heard of Virtual Bouncer? Somehow it got installed on my computer and it says it picks up adware and asks to delete them but since I have no clue if this software is valid or not to give it a try. Anyone hear of it?
