If you stop updating your browser they will leave you alone. How do I know this? I use Win XP with Firefox 10.0. My active X is shutoff. I don’t need to see star bursting lights when I open my browser, so I shut down all the fancy stuff. I haven’t had any viruses or bugs either but then I don’t open blogs or porn sites.
I found some of the worst ones were from links on Drudge Report. I am very thankful that people here keep the links clean.
