I posted an enquiry on the help forum about getting pop ups while using the mudcat. The powers that be assured me that it was not the 'cat and they were, of course, quite right. I noticed that a few other people were plagued with similar so I thought I would share my solution.

I now regularly run a program called 'ad-aware' which deletes all the spy and snoop ware cookies and other sundry nasties that the more unscrupulous web hosters leave you with.

The first time I ran it I was amazed - there were somewhere in the region of 500 bits of data that were deleted. I have not had a problem since and I now run it after every internet session.

You would be surprised how often these potential nasties pop-up!
