Hello everyone,

One of my academic members of staff has complained about pop-up adverts appearing on his screen since he went over to broadband.

One of the popup adverts advertises www.popupbarrier.com for a download to prevent future popups (ironic isn't it?).

Does anyone have experience of this software? Any advice you can offer will be welcome.

Thanks

Jim Roberts
