You didn't click here? Oh man.. did you screw up big time.
Microsoft Wordpad told you to click here and you didn't. Thats illegal I
think. :-)
Good netiquette is to NOT HAVE YOUR CAPS LOCK ON. It is considered
shouting. Another thing is get rid of that Yahoo popup blocker... its
garbage.
Run Ad Aware www.lavasoft.com to see which annoying spyware you downloaded
to give you that window in wordpad.

If you want a Good - Free Pop-Up stopper, go to
www.PanicWare.com and download their free pop-up stopper
program. It runs in the background and uses little system
resources. They have professional and such and cost but
there is one titled FREE and it works good, easily
disabled when you do want a window to show. Just double
click on the little hand in the task bar.

Good Luck, Rick

did you say your "WORD PAD", if it's then you're
definitely in big trouble =)
You probably have some spyware in your computer. Download
Spybot Search & Destroy (goto google.com and search for
it). You can use Spybot to scan your computer for
spywares and remove them

Once you've updated your antivirus and scanned your system and run a malware
checker such as Ad Aware, www.lavasoftusa.com and rid your system of any
potential malware, you need to install firewall as this will close the ports
through which these ads, not coming from Microsoft, can be stopped.
