DSL Hell II

I can't believe this -- not only do I get tons of annoying pop-ups (one in particular, AskMen.com, opens about six windows each time it comes up), further evidence that MSN hates me is that its blocking the stuff I do want to receive -- e-mails from my hubby and the yahoo groups in which I'm a member. Its a world gone mad -- soft porn pops up unwanted on my screen, but e-mails from my husband are put in the junk folder? Head to the hills, society is going down the tubes.

The Llamabutcher is V. excited about our soon to be available DSL opportunity. But, sounds like it may be more trouble than it is worth. Maybe slower is better.

Hi Anne, thanks for the tip. I think it would be great fun to make a spyware and virus detector in a video game format so you could actually shoot this stuff off your screen.

JDG, DSL is great, my problem is the switch in providers, from AOL to MSN/Verizon, thats whats giving me the most grief right now. The band-aid is we'll be keeping aol for another couple of months because December is not a good time for me to try to learn a new system. The pop-ups are annoying, but I think if I took Anne's advice, I wouldn't have this problem.
