I know there are a lot of people here know a lot about computers.(not me:mad:)

I am getting well cheesed off at the amount of popups and other cr*p that keeps happening to my PC to a point that I almost went out and spent money to prevent this:eek:.

Then came to my senses becauce I know that there are site out there that I can download the stuff free.(tight git)

I just dont know where.


so any help would be appreciated.:)

Yeah, google web browser is the best, started using it as I had the same problem and glad I did, can be a bit funny with some sites but you can use your ctrl button to remedy it.
