Anyone else get this?

Boxingscene is notorious for pop up ads and *******. Members have made threads and pleaded with admins but nothing gets done.

You got it as a deal with your computer, It figures.

I have tested most of the antivirus software on the market and I have to say NOD32 and Kaspersky are two of the best. I chose NOD 32 - 2.7 an old version over Kaspersky because NOD32 was user friendly and over all passed all test I threw at it. Again, also NOD 32 is not a resource hog and defends very well. Since I have been using NOD 32 about 3 years or so, I have yet to get a serious infection and that says alot about NOD IMO

is this stuff all freely available on the net and not too much hassle implementing?

i got it with the deal when i got the computer

I have never had a popup ad show up here...ever. Using Firefox, with the NoScript addon (sorry, thought it was scriptblocker, but it's "NoScript"), and the "Adblock Plus".

I have no ads, no extra windows, no headaches.

That is good advice. If I only used the computer to surf, I would just use Linux but since I do so much more than just Surf, Linux does not cut it for me but I get on my linux box from time just to change OS. No, I am not a MAC user :lmfao:

I have a couple of different incarnations of LInux on a couple of drives in my PC that I can switch to and boot from when I feel like playing with it a little. The only real problem with Linux is that there are too many apps written for too many different versions...gets confusing and annoying. And being an old DOS guy, I'm a little lost without the commands and procedures in writing where I can see them and know how to do things in Linux without a GUI. Makes me feel ******, sometimes.
