jgl Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Justed picked this up. thought I'd pass it along. If your thinking about installing a POP-UP AD STOPPER be on the LOOK-OUT for this one it is not what it appears to be..... SECURE COMPUTING: Stuff to keep you safe from harm! THINK HARD ABOUT THE VALUE OF THIS POP-UP BLOCKER. The ZeroPopUp Companion Toolbar promises to stop those irritating ads. And maybe it does. But it also adds aggravation to your life. The download for this thing includes a viral Trojan. This program, Tellafriend, goes to Windows and Eudora address books and sends spam to addresses there. And it tells people that you are recommending it. Meanwhile, the Toolbar changes your Internet Explorer home page. And it changes your search engine.
