This should be "sticky" (a persistent reminder) on every 'puter, imho...

If you see "blog" or "blogspot" in a subject line or in a url in the body
of the message, it's not good for your health and usually an unprofessional
click-ad money scam.

Before visiting untrusted websites and blogs, in your browser, turn off
cookies and java and javascript, don't load images automatically, and use
an ad-blocker before visiting blogs AND anonymize your browsing if you know
how.

If the site complains, wonder why.

This doesn't apply to your bank and other vital and trusted websites and
depending on your browser, you can make exceptions.

My banking website reminds me to restart my browser (erase any trace from
RAM) after logging out for my own security.

And always clean your cookies (can be automatic) if you choose to accept
them, after every browsing session!

And BEWARE the Oreo cookies! They pack on the calories! Nevermind the milk!

Here's how I handle spam, and it works perfectly...so far. I have two
email addresses. One, my main one with Yahoo uses one address, but the
one I use for all business, friends and important contacts is another
account, still free and still with yahoo. Of course you can set up as
many as you want...just remember to sign in and out if you are
blogging or posting, or heaven forbit, downloading anything your
Norton or whatever warns you about, All the spam goes to the one I
use online...this one. The other one only has important emails. I
don't check this email very often, but the last time I did I had
several hundred spams, which I can just eliminate by pressing the
erase all button.

Here's how I handle oreos...I don't, but I would like to, with ice
cold milk of course. dkw

Andy, Firefox has a add-on called Adblock and another called Noscript,
they accomplish a lot of what you are suggesting. (all good ideas)

Thanks, I use Firefox! It's a great web browser. I'm familiar with the add-
on.

Best,
