Updated opinion on Pop-Up Disabler

Since installing it, I've been receiving pop-under ads (those are the ones that are on your screen waiting for you when you close your browser window). I don't think the disabler is causing these to occur. I just think it's not catching them. To test my theory (or whether it's just a coincidence), I'll be disabling the new software and going back to my tried and true. The pop-under ads have happened perhaps three or four times over the past 24 hours, so if there is a pattern, it should disappear (or not) with my old software.

We'll see.

In the meantime, I'll be running Spybot S&D to ensure I haven't picked up adware/spyware.

More to come...
