no, no, no! You DON'T have to re-boot when you hit one of those stupid porn sites! You need a firewall, like ZoneAlarm !!..or AtGuard (I use both at once)(I'll see if I can find a still valid link for AtGuard)...they control the javascript that makes those new popups and stop cookies and hackers, too....**AND**...in Netscape, (and probably somewhere in IE5, you get 'some' control by using the dropdown menu under 'back', so you can skip that '0' site that stands between you and backing out of the damn trap! I haven't had to fight one of those trap sites in MANY months. Honest, it really works!...ZoneAlarm seems to THE freeware firewall these days, but I love the features of AtGuard, too..(it was bought by Norton, and is now part of their $$$firewall system but everyone says the original free one was better)
