I finally got around to trying the Pop-up Stopper Free Edition. Down loaded the free, bare bones, no extras version.
So far it tastes great AND less filling. :thumpsup:

When I first got my computer, paranoid bastard that I am, I downloaded about 10 free anti-virus, spyware killers, and pop-up blockers. Then, all of a sudden, I get a lovely little white box popup that said, in essence,
"WINDOWS 98 SYSTEM FAILURE. PLEASE REINSTALL OPERATING SYSTEM."
I believe the phrase I said at that time was "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!! FUCK!!!"
After a failed suicide attempt, I called a friend of mine, got the A\ prompt for eliminating partitions on the hard drive
(DO NOT TRY THIS WITHOUT ADULT SUPERVISION!!!),
crossed my fingers and prayed.
After the fresh install, I was a little more careful.

Right now, I'm running the following:

AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition
Zone Alarm Basic
IMSecure Basic
Spybot Search and Destroy
Panicware Popup Blocker Free Edition

These seem to work quite well in keeping me spyware free.
Also I run RegSeeker and IE Privacy Keeper.
Cleans up everything real nice.
