Hi BALIX, how's things?
When you enable the XP firewallyou will find a small popup killer enabeling 'thingy' at the bottom of web pages. If you enable that it will very effectively kill pop-ups.
Not bad at all, Mr.XP's defence systems.
In addition, ZoneAlarm and SpyBot are to be recommened. They come free and add a bit of additional security. (See sticky thread on the Forum)
Cheers,
