That problem started long before we had computer viruses. I think the word you want to insert is "need".
Some will say you need a pop up blocker but those get in the way of the some of the functionality of sites I use on the net. I tolerate the pop-ups because it is less trouble to click them away than to turn on and off a pop-up stopper program.
Download it and use it. You'll be happier than Michael Moore at a fudge factory.
Mozilla!
I second that!
If you must use IE - Cookiewall.
Mozilla FireFox and no more problems
There is only one best place on the Internet for breaking news... and you're there already!
Trixie still has a 'tude, I see....
Mofozillafox, dude. the shizzle.
google has a great pop up blocker
Must IE be deactivated at any time?
Are any usual functions deactivated if Mozilla is loaded?
I never went to Drudge until now.
U.S. Government (US-CERT) warns web surfers: Stop using Microsoft Internet Explorer U.S. Government Computer Emergency Readiness Team Vulnerability Note VU#713878 Excerpt: "Use a different web browser" "There are a number of significant vulnerabilities in technologies relating to the IE domain/zone security model, local file system (Local Machine Zone) trust, the Dynamic HTML (DHTML) document object model (in particular, proprietary DHTML features), the HTML Help system, MIME type determination, the graphical user interface (GUI), and ActiveX. These technologies are implemented in operating system libraries that are used by IE and many other programs to provide web browser functionality. IE is integrated into Windows to such an extent that vulnerabilities in IE frequently provide an attacker significant access to the operating system. It is possible to reduce exposure to these vulnerabilities by using a different web browser, especially when viewing untrusted HTML documents (e.g., web sites, HTML email messages). Such a decision may, however, reduce the functionality of sites that require IE-specific features such as proprietary DHTML, VBScript, and ActiveX. Note that using a different web browser will not remove IE from a Windows system, and other programs may invoke IE, the WebBrowser ActiveX control (WebOC), or the HTML rendering engine (MSHTML)." |

It is where Drudge gets 90% of his content. And for that other 10%, I can wait the 3 or 4 seconds before the details are posted here. Shame on me for going to Drudge. You are right!
Yep. Got kicked of LDot a few months ago. Been happy as a clam here. Love your tagline, btw.

I don't go near Drudge's site anymore. Gave up on it over two years ago and deleted it from my 'favorites'. The spyware and pop-ups and suspicious clicking noises from my computer were too much for me. Any scoop he comes up with ends up here on FR anyway.
"I tolerate the pop-ups because it is less trouble to click them away than to turn on and off a pop-up stopper program."
Not so. I rarely have to turn off my blocker.
well drudge is off the list...
