Is there anything I can download to stop those sodding pop ups from appearing on my screen? There is one on Kazaa and I can't get rid or move it and it's blocking something

Mods, please feel free to move this if necessary.

I had a miserable time with pop-ups, even managed to get one that put 'Stop f***ing about b*tch' (without the asterisks) at the top of every page I opened. Spybot Search & Destroy is the best piece of software ever written IMHO. Well worth the download.

I had the same problem recently - someone on Scoobynet recommended SkyBot - not had a pop up since

I'm also trying out an alternative browser "Opera" which due to not being Microsoft, is far less likely to be plagued with the things.

http://www.opera.com/

Currently using Opera alongside IE6 with no problems (need IE6 for work). Also tried Mozilla, but that didn't seem to agree with MS Outlook (which I use to pull email from a talk21 account).
