" Is this an issue to do with firewall ( NEED ADVICE ) "
Yes it is and Norton Internet Security will stop spam, popups, viruses,
Trojans, provides a firewall, etc......IT's Complete Protection for The
Internet....which is what we all need, including you.
I used to have spyware, popups occur because some stuff just slips by the
general programs....not with Norton....$59.95 at Walmart, worth every penny,
and after a year you suscribe yearly, getting updates on every piece of
protection built into N.I.S.
