• Stop those annoying pop-ups - If you use Internet Explorer 6 or better, we recommend google's toolbar which has a built in pop-up blocker with no built in Spyware and does a pretty good job at stopping them. If you are open to other internet browsers, check our downloads section and get Mozilla Firefox.
