Dangerous Pop-ups

Are you aware of the dangers of pop-ups? Research at North Carolina State University found that the majority of students - supposedly the computer-savvy generation - couldn't tell the difference between genuine pop-up warnings and user traps. They tended to click "OK" or "Yes" to get rid of the nuisance. But pop-ups are used by cyber criminals to install harmful software on PCs. Click "Yes" and you're asking for trouble. So be warned. Close the pop-up box. I'm still using Panicware's Free Pop-up Stopper® (CLICK). It allows Windows messages, but blocks anything else. I can override it when I need to see a pop-up.
