Unhappy Pops ups, av, firewall help
After installing Blubster I keep getting pop ups from internet explorer. What do I do to stop this?
I also have Avira, Ad-aware and spyware doctor free editions. What should I get rid of out of all three? Do these help? M scared of my computer crashing again. It always gets some problems everytime I even vaguely start downloading songs. I am downloading again after a year.
I want to turn off windows firewall and use some other. What do you guys recommend?

I would recommend chucking out spyware doctor and AdAware. Many people are totally dissatisfied with the new edition, it usually doesn't get along well with other products. I even noticed that spyware doctor detects false positives. So now I recommend Super Antispyware free edition and malwarebytes' antimalware (free edition). Both are best in class, trust me. Keep Avira, it is very good.

You must have missed the TSG Rules on your way in.
