  • A plague of pop-ups.

    Since yesterday my computer has been infested with pop-ups from online casino sites...I'm not even the least bit interested in gambling so this is especially annoying. It was so bad this morning that I totally lost any control whatsoever. I've only managed to successfully get online again by accessing the internet via MSN Messenger.

    My friend should be able to purge my computer of the problem; but it might be a few days until he can get around to doing it. It's my first major problem in the seven months I've been online, so I can't really complain, can I?
