I still don't care, once my computer's fixed, I'm nuking IE ( Theres a free version of program that can do it, its called 98Lite ) off it and bringing in Firefox!

I used a program I couldnt remember the name of to remove IE from my second computer's win2k install, and then it was really glitchy.
I didn't really gain anything from it either.

I recommend just not using IE as opposed to ripping it out; Occasionally I have to use IE to check how bad a website layout looks in IE as opposed to firefox... have to cater to the majority too

Seriously, I don't get these "swarms" of pop-ups. What kind of sites are you visiting? o.O

Well MFGG has never given me any pop-ups. Maybe it was the dirty sites you were visiting before? ;o

I personall, hate Netscape, I think it's the worst browser ever.

No offense of course.

Beats me. When I use IE, the same popups come up every 2 minutes, like a never ending cycle of "Download these ringtones" or "YOU mAY hAve SPyRWARE!!1".

The only popups I get on Firefox are ones that are embedded to a site, and are supposed to come up.
