software thet comes with other software (like realplayer) and recordes the things you do on your computer, and send it to a company, wich will spam you with e-mail

thanx for the info.

 

but you know what really bugs me, is these damn pop ups.

 

whats a good or the best program to use for it?????

[Hekx]

Ad-aware seems to used to be able to do the job.

Get RefUpdate (also by LavaSoft) to download the latest lists of spyware too

But also use SpyBot - Search and Destroy

It found some Backweb Lite spyware which Ad-aware didn't

[Darth Simpson]

Use Opera. http://www.opera.com

 

Web browser with automatic popup stopper.

[Inky Binky]

Or you can just Download Popup Stopper
