Dianna, I would suggest using the google toolbar popup blocker? it is quite effective, now only failing on the Maxcash (and a few others) using different methods to toss consoles. For 99% of stuff, well, no problem.

I run adaware pretty much every day, cwshredder, and I deleted out the hosts file (most common redirection happens in the hosts file, it is VERY easy to write a program in VB to make new entries there...).

It doesn't stop the overwhelming firehose of spam I keep getting. AFTER filters I still had over 10 pieces of spam since I went to bed, without the filters it would have been 500-1000 pieces. It's insane.
