Yeahhhhh,
I know what you mean, nunforever. I, too would like to get rid of the junk, but personally, I haven't the finances to purchase any solid software. So, I use the freeware. Slimbrowser helps a bit, with a pop-up stopper, and as you said, Spy-Bot does a good job.
You know, maybe we shouldn't complain too much about the advertisements. They pay the bills for a lot of people, and might just allow a lot of free stuff to be available.
Yeah, I kow they are a p-i-t-a, but what the heck, so are a lot of other things.
I know the ads that infuriated me the most were those flashing things. Then I found out I can hit the "Stop" button and they freeze right up. That helped a lot.
Oh well, good luck finding something. Post back if you do!
