I use IE. What are all the "POP-UPs" everyones talking about.

Heres my list of rules for safe exploring.

1.) It doesnt matter what browser you use as long as its not MSN or AOL

2.) Send a nasty email to anyone that ever sends you a "joke" or link to some suposedly funny website. Inform them that this is dangerous and only noobs partake in this ritual

3.) Dont surf porn sites.

4.) Dont try to get anyting for free on the web without first reading the "TERMS".... ALWAYS READ THE FREAKING TERMS. Spyware is rarely "snuck" onto a PC. 99.9% you accepted the terms.

5.) Always remeber, Nothing is free on the internet. Not 100% true, but damn near...

6.) Dont take advice from anyone using AOL. AOL is synonymous with NOOBIE.

7.) Run Spybot Search and Destroy Every week.

8.) Scan for virus's every week.

9.) Use the Google Toolbar. Good, free, utility. Blocks POPUPS.

10.) Dont fall for the "you have to have this to use this" scam. If a site says you need to install such and such software to use their stuff be very leary. Some OK things are Macromedia Flash and Shockwave player. Some common bad things are: Real Player, Gator, Offer Companion, Save Now, Xupiter, any kind of search assistant. (remember, Google is the only search you will ever need.
