Stupid popups!!! - Page 2

No way! I was an early adopter of FF... Been with them forever.

Gasp! Spybot found 62 problems, several of which that I have noticed to be talked about in the popups.

I think problem may = solved... will post back results at end of day or in like an hour.

Spybot FTW!

Never visit Porn sites. They are known for ITD's (Internet Transmitted Diseases), there are plenty of other safer places to get porn.

OWNED! Seriously, run virus scan because sometimes executables can release viruses every time they are executed.

Sometimes Limewire files will infected and they embed themselves in limewire so everytime you run Limewire, the infection occurs.

Not only .exe files, .jpg and .wmf documents have been known to infect unprotected computers.

Grr...because I updated to Firefox 1.5.0.9, 2 of my most valuable extensions were disabled: Adblock Plus and del.icio.us Bookmarks. This is really a big bummer! What a pain it is!

Um, it's at 2.0 right now...

EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot about the problem. So yeah, I got like one popup thereafter so I think there's just a little tiny one lingering somewhere. It's all good though.

And I've learned my lesson... ;)

Not my browser

It could have updated that much, but it didn't.

Edit: I just upgraded to 2.0.0.1. Any add-ons(themes or extensions) I should get?
