Which would sound to me like a very good reason to have a popup stopper
program???..I don't surf much..most of what I do is open web pages from
e-mails or maybe from searches...but still I would thnk you would need a
stopper.

wrote about the spam filter advertisement that pops up when you're on some
web sites. Apparently, it goes thru installing itself, and then claims you
have spyware, and wants $35.00 to remove it - and when you try to remove the
program from your computer, it corrupts your system - or, one person wrote
that it put a virus on their system also.

reading - some was really boring though! They advise against bouncing any
mail from mail washer. But mail washer automatically checks all blacklisted
mail to bounce. I believe it is their new version - maybe their new pro
version, that will send the spam to spam cop - I'll have to take some more
time to search some more about that -
