RE: AnitSpyWare did not prevent some bad popup

The problem is you are using the WRONG application to block pop-ups.

This is an antipsyware application, NOT a pop-up blocker. If you are using
XP SP2, then this is likely the cause of the pop-ups that are being blocked,
not MSAS since it has absolutely NO pop-up blocking settings ANYWHERE in the
program! Take a look for yourself, I guarantee you that you WILL NOT find
ANY settings relating to blocking OR allowing pop-ups!

Pop-ups have nothing to do with spyware, they are HTML code in a web site's
source code that invokes a pop-up (i.e., slave) window to open.

Some sites that are known to contain and use spyware/malware might use
pop-ups, but the pop-up window has NOTHING to do with any spyware that might
be infecting your system.

The problem is that you are totaly ineffective at actually taking the time
to find out what pop-ups are, and what they are not. In the future, take the
time to look for the definitions of technical terms before slamming an
absolutley fine application. If more people actually did this, there would
be much less spyware out there since these users would know what they are
dealing with and how to properly protect themselves.
