    Been plagued with popups lately. Most of them have http://xadsj.offeroptimizer for an url. I already have PopUpCop, CW Shredder, Spybot and AdAware, plus McAfee Virus Scan, but the damn popups still get through. Any suggestions?

    Man spyware is such a ****... theres always something that slips by...
    You should check out microsoft anti-spy beta... yes, ms is evil, but their spyware thing is the best ive found yet... its got many more options and seems to track more spyware.... its updated a lot too cuz its all MSed out... when ms makes something, its gotta be the best... (or buggy and shitty like windows)
