Yep, it's true.. Not only do you have to deal with pop-ups and spam on a daily basis, but now you'll have to deal with spam WITH pop-ups too.  I still hold to my comment yesterday.

MAY ALL YE SPAMMERS BURN IN HELL!!!!

I highly recommend NoAds to help take care of those nasty pop-ups, and SpamNet works pretty good to take care of spam if you're brave enough to use Outlook for your mail program.  Outlook Express support coming soon, or so they say.
