I think John means by using spyware removal software, such as Ad-aware or SpyBot.

Pug628 · October 13, 2003, 02:46:37 PM

o ok , yea i use adaware

Homer · October 13, 2003, 02:48:10 PM

Yes I use Spybot S&D and AdAware. :D

Homer · October 13, 2003, 02:49:52 PM

In fact as strange as it sounds....I picked up a piece of spyware from CNN's web site. :( >:(

admin · October 13, 2003, 02:51:16 PM

Yes, there's a lot of sites that allow the people that they sell ads to to put spyware in the cookies. :-\

Pug628 · October 13, 2003, 02:51:28 PM

Homer · October 13, 2003, 02:53:18 PM

The browser suppresses all popups. Never have any problems. ;D

Pug628 · October 13, 2003, 02:54:00 PM

so does slimbrowser, what about cookies, they have spyware :'(

Homer · October 13, 2003, 02:57:36 PM

I can turn off cookies but then I can't always go to certain web sites. Some web sites require cookies to be turned on. I just run a scan daily. Never picked up anything I couldn't get rid of.

Also watch out for P. I went to play NFS and you need to download Wild Tangent software to play it. WT shows up on Spybot as being spyware. :(
