IE 6.0 which is supposed to be the best in security seems
to have way toooo many flaws. I am really surprised at
the number of pop-ups that come over while trying to
browse the internet. It really scares me, for example, i
get a pop ups on the topics that i am searching. Does any
one sugeest how to prevent these pop-ups(i dont want to
by additional software or items like Secure IE). Our
government passed a bill to punish spammers but what
about these pop-ups creators?. I think microsoft should
do something about these.
 
IE is *supposed* to be the best in security, but isn't by
far. You probably have some spyware or adware on your
computer. Try downloading a spyware/adware
detector/remover. If that doesn't help, or if you have
none, download a pop up blocker (Intellistopper is good),
or try switching to Mozilla, which is a different
browser, but is more secure and has a built in pop up
blocker. Also make sure to run a virus scan (if you
don't have an up to date one, AVG from grisoft.com works
very well). Lastly, for the utmost protection, you could
download a personal firewall (try Sygate
(www.sygate.com)).
