text: my boss's daughter used my work computer i've been getting popups, what is a quick fix for this? i'm running counterspy for spyware protection but i can't find a popup blocker funtion. the best idea would be to get firefox (http://www.getfirefox.com) which is a free, fast, and flexible internet browser which kills most popups. then download an anti-spyware program like spybot (http://www.safer-networking.org) and run it to remove any adware/spyware that may exist on your computer.
