Welcome aboard the Firefox train shorrock! And it's so much faster loading pages than IE, especially on broadband.

I have no problems with Internet Explorer... so I rather not change. Perhaps some day I will change my mind.

I don't have any problems on my desktop or laptop which is on the main router and firewall. One of my laptops was running slow so I went to Tucows.com and downloaded Spybot. It found all kinds of "junk" on there. Haven't tried it since yesterday when I installed Spybot but I don't remember ever getting a pop up or block on any of my computers on this site including one laptop that is not behind a firewall.

However, I am definitely going to run Spybot on it as soon as I get to the office in the morning.

Do you have e-wallet or autofill enabled? That could cause the password problem but it's still a fluke. Good luck.

I just ran my spybot and ad-aware and everything is clean, I am here probably 5 hours a day...

I had firefox and I will never go back. IE is fine with me. :wink:

Both Spybot S&D and AdAware found "Alexa", and an assortment of standard tracking cookies. Doesn't look like Alexa is the culprit, though.

Personally, I prefer Netscape to IE, though Firefox really looks nice, too. So the question remains - what's causing this attempt to send S2K my eBay password? Doesn't seem to be anything on my wife's PC.

I don't either.

Spyware is the main cause for you to get adult popups.

Is it possible that you could have a trojan? ^o) Perhaps you could run a trojan scanner....

Adult pop-ups only appear because of visiting an adult site!

I typed in an address wrong and accidently got an adult site....I got 50 popups of adult material that I could not close fast enough! Once the site puts a cookie on your p.c. you will constantly get adult pop-ups till you get rid of that cookie....I have earthlink to cure this prob.!

I hate Netscape and will never get rid of IE

weatherFrEaK · #35 Postby **weatherFrEaK** » Sun Sep 19, 2004 5:59 pm

Even though I use Firefox exclusively now, I LOVE IE too! All the problems my customers have with it and other Microsoft products keeps food in the fridge and pays all the bills. It's my bread and butter

Nothing but Netscape here... it's faster than IE and no popups.
