Pesky Pop Ups

Thanks to a reader, I have to put in a shameless plug for Ad-Aware to rid your machine of adware.

The correct terminology is that Ad-Aware rids your machine of “spyware”.

I’m not current on my computer terminology.

Ad-Aware is pretty effective, albeit a touch slow and suspicious. I’ll take that any day over the ad/spy/bad-ware, or whatever the hell they’re calling the crap that won’t even let me play solitare without signing me up for some damn casino.

It’s almost enough to make a body switch to Linux.

Almost.

So how many things did Ad-Aware remove on the first run? When I first got it a couple of years ago, it found several hundred (mostly tracking cookies). I tightened up my cookie settings, and now it maybe finds three or four per week.

Ad-aware alone does not do it for me. I also use Webroot Spysweeper. Two heads are better than one.

Also, don’t forget to keep updating the adware/spyware catalogs.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
