Dear LW users

Although the following article does not have anything directly to do with LW, I thought it would be of interest to those amongst us who are security minded.

I don't like the advert that shows up! It's ghostly! How do I get rid of it! lol

Hi LOTR

Thanks for sorting out the link problem in my previous post.

As for the pop-up advert, I use two pop-up suppressors the first one is part of my NPF 2003 and the other is Yahoo’s pop-up blocker, together they stop 99.99% of all pop-ups and pop-unders.
