Pop-ups GRRRRRR

I have been plagued the past few days with those pesky pop up ads. I dont mena just your standard pop-up I mean the kind you can NOT tell FUCK off to. Yesterday right in the middle of my daily blog reading, one popped up, and had absolutely NO way to get it gone. There was no tool bar showing, ESC did not work, 3-fingered salute did not work, I mouse overed every inch and could find NOTHING that will allow me to close down the damn thing. I had to physically turn off my computer the wrong way, just to get it gone. Of course Windows XP does not like it when you do that, so it had to scan my hard drives for damage before I could continue. Then once it came back up there was the damn ad again, only this time with a toolbar. I closed it three times before it went away. Then when I looked at my favorites there were two adult porn sites in my FAVORITES that I did not put there.

Chemystery got home really late, and I was worried about her and the icy roads. I yelled at her when she got home, about not being courteous and letting me know she was gonna be working late, then I hit her with the porn sites! She swears she didn't do that, and I believe her. She deleted a bunch of things that looked really strange on my files, and rebooted. Today I ran a p-cillin scan and found I have a spy-ware worm. I deleted it and now I'm starting over. and the Damn Pop-ups are popping like mad!! ANybody know a reasonably cheap program that will block all of these stupid advertisements? They are really pissing me off. Especially the one that wont let you close it.

There are those stupid ones in email too. and the ones that look like it is an official pop-up from microsoft about it's system. I refuse to download anything that I do not request myself. and I periodically go to those places and get updates and patches.

Just typing this, I had to close 15 ads!!! it wouldnt even be so bad if they would pop UNDER so I could still type! I do not look at the screen but at my keys so when it pops up it kills the typing and I dont realize it until I look up.
