Larry,

I have to join Choad here. You know me. I am about the most anal of protection freaks. I even run a board that people use to get ideas on how to fix these kind of problems. If you look at the Dream Machine board header, you will see that I am running 9 consecutive days without a single popup. I run Spyware Blaster, Spyware Guard, Ad Popup filter, Adaware60, PCCillin, and Spybot S&D.

I just went to your website and right now I am looking at a popup on one of my screens! The first popup in ten days. It looks to be an "Official" Microsoft Privacy Protection update. It isn't from Microsoft as they only update things from their update web site. Neither does Mr. Softy advertise with popups.

It has corrupted and shut down Ad Popup Filter! I right clicked on it to get the properties and it opened a new window that says download your FREE trial now instead of giving me the properties.

I am running a virus scan on it now and will do a few other things with it after. If I am not back with an update in a few minutes, call an ambulance. (g)

"Spock. Arm phasers and photon torpedoes. Raise shields. Were goin' in!"
