Hello Armando
Ive have uninstalled Pop Up Stopper and have started using POW again. Ive
used it for years but just occasionally I try something different!
Off topic, can you please explain (briefly) how does a programme like
SpywareBlaster work by blasting stuff away before it gets on to the machine,
when it does not even have to be running?
Sandy :)
