Am I the only one who does not like those pop up ads? No. At home I have a program on my computer that takes care of pop up ads, the ads on webpages called Naviscope. You can find it at http://www.naviscope.com if you are interested in downloading the program. It works fabulously! I do have to admit that going from one computer to another - school to home, home to school, it is something to get used to because the school computers don't have Nabiscope on their computers here since it is a networking system. As far as viruses go on these computers, one person can get a virus and the whole network can get one! I hate that when that happens, too. NOTE...NO VIRUS on this computer
