Subject: RE: Tech: Blocking IE ads coming up
Glad to read that, John. It is a time waster and one wonders if it is worth it.
As a side note, I've been doing some tweaking here this weekend. I loaded kerio and AVG and they are "learning" now. (Thanks, Bill D!) I also poked around in my IE settings and realize that when I turn off the default "phishing filter" pages load MUCH FASTER. Damned thing must take your URL and report back to the mother ship to compare it to a list of suspect sites. I know most of the places I'm visiting, thank you very much, and I don't need this. Glad I dumped it. It isn't enough to just say "don't search," you have to select the button to disable it. Then it really does what you want it to. Otherwise it's still trying to run in the background.
Now JiK will come up with three yards of text as to why this is so.
