Shit! It just happened 6 times in a row!

If you have spybot, try this:

www.msnbc.com

hit any link on the page, and you get

"Spybot has prevented the download of Avenue A"

and of course, it locks up and I get to do 2 minutes of control/alt/delete end task, blah blah blah lockup.

Tell me if it does it to yours, too.

If so, Msnbc is sending out Avenue A to everyone.

Bastards.

2. Is that Bob Schieffer? Did you know that his brother is the
US Ambassador to Australia? FYI...

Just found that little tidbit out, myself.

Peace.

8. No, but he said Bu** should just demand that his leaker resign.
And that nothing that comes from this administration can be taken at face value.

3. Use Firefox - I have no AvenueA cookies in my cache after going there

Just make sure you install the Adblock extension with firefox (both are free)

And if you really want to hose up the NSA & Neocon Marketing jerks use megapath proxy.

5. NoScript
If you really want to be secure, install the NoScript extension along with the adblock extension.

I hardly notice any ads/malicious scripts anymore!

9. I don't know. I don't have it. Spybot keeps zapping it, and tying up
my puter. Pain in the ass. MSNBC is the only site that does it.

10. It's a tracking cookie I think and very common. I get
rid of it every time I wash my hard drive. Btw, MSNBC is not the only site that does it.
