The bain of all our lives...I bought the Jan 2003 issue of Practical Internet today and on the free CD is a pop-up killer. So far...it works! ?4.99 well spent - recommended.

Even cheaper than ?4.99, only 456kb.

Nothing to be corrected about
You were just sharing information and giving your honest appraisal
5 pounds is a small price to pay IMPO
Always keep in mind...free programs usually come with secret spyware to track your surfing habits which usually equals
spam in your emails
Everything has a cost

I have several free utilities that don't have spyware, including Ad-aware & SpyBot that find spyware. Go to spychecker.com & you can type in the name of a program & find out if it is spyware.
