PopUps & Trojans, Lately...

And, I don't mean snacks for kids or USC...

This past week I've noticed an amazing amount of
PopUps getting through: most from "BetOnUs",
"SportsBet.com", some mortagage lending false fronts,
et al.

I've changed nothing in my Norton, Microsoft
Windows Defender, etc., recently,yet this new batch
of utter bullshit is creeping in, with seriously fookin
annoying regularity.

And, Ol'Norton has stopped/cleaned out about a Trojan
a day from that commie scam zombie joint called WinFixer.

I actually contacted BetOnUs, via theie web site, and got
an email back from so & so, the "sales director", who had the
balls to suggest I use pop up blockers, anti-spam, etc.

No Shit, Sherlock...he also would have me believe that some
mysterious AdWare is responsible for these recent pop ups and
that his company does not participate in or endorse that manner
of "seeking out customers". I wrote back that he was basically
a fookin liar and I hoped his old gig at MickeyD's calls him back.
By the bye, that betting joints didn't "find me" from any web
search/look of mine: I haven't bet on sports since college daze
and haven't watched an entire college game of any kind since
I still drank a lot of beer and smoked dope. They didn't get me
from a cookie or view...

Is it jes'me or, are any of you having a recent spate of
bs PopUps, etc.?

Any opins, help, would be appreciated.
