Be careful while you browse to watch out for ActiveX, nasty javascript, etc. If others browse on your computer without your supervision, force them to use Firefox or tighten the security settings on your IE and then scan every weekend using Spybot or MS Anti-Spyware.
Yea watching others that use your comp is great advice. I let my brother's friends use mine once way back in 1999 and ended up with a ton of p0rn pop-up's and programs installed (dialers to p0rn servers and such).
Took me forever to clean that mess up....and now I don't even allow my parents or anyone else for that matter to use my comp, unless I am in the room, hands on keyboard and mouse, letting them feed me intructions.
alot of webmasters are just ignorent when it comes to popup advertising. especially activeX when you say no once and it keeps coming back another 10times then after the last no it doesnt let you on the site.
but it doesnt bother me anymore i just disable activeX and javascript when viewing any of those pages.
I have some sort of spyware and no spyware removal program has gotten rid of it. Whatever it is, it opens whatever browser I have set to default and opens it to some site called popuppers. And if I have the browser open already it just goes to the page and I lose all my data. :dead:
