Everytime I get a popup another little piece of my soul becomes destined to spend eternity in purgatory.

Yup.

If you absolutely MUST keep using your beloved IE (I'm assuming that's what you're using), get yourself a Google toolbar.

Upgrade to SP2 if you're on Windows XP, their popup blocker is actually pretty killer. The Google toolbar popup blocker misses quite a few.

I have firefox, but i never use it when im on SG because everytime i reload it takes like a minute and a half for the page to load, and i have dsl. On the bottom it will say "transferring data from Indieclick.com" for like a minute.

I haven't had a single problem with SP2. :shrug: Adobe usually has its fingers fully wedged up its ass, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's an issue they took care of eventually.

It sounds like you have more than just pop-up problems, this makes it sound like you've got spyware/adware installed as well.

I concur.

Ever since spybot, my crappy computer has been running like a non-crappy computer.

yes, changing browsers is completely the solution to solving popups... that's like buying a new car because your car needs new tires.

They're saying that because Firefox blocks popups really well. And I won't install Service Pack 2 for the time being, just too many horror stories.

It's more like getting a brand-new car, for FREE, because your old car is poorly designed, inefficient, and has transmission problems.

No. Buying a new computer would be the equivalent of buying a new car because your car needs new tires.
