I use Norton 2002 in conjunction with ZoneAlarm Pro - Norton 2002 has a
script blocker which seems to work quite well and will block scripts from
Internet Web sites (and it sounds like you found one of those scripts) -
ZoneAlarm Pro has a fairly decent popup blocker which doesn't stop *all*
popups, but does a fairly decent job nonetheless... With routine
updates, I very seldom have anything to worry about when browsing the Web
or getting email...
