For those who have a hardware firewall (like the LinkSys Router) and don't
want to hassle with an additional software firewall-- one alternative is
to run "SpyBot Search & Destroy" regularly -- It will find & kill
spy-ware, including many pop-up engines.

How would your Linksys help against a hidden installation that comes
unanounced with good software?
Something like last year's "Safe Cast", the little "anti-piracy" program
covertly installed by Turbo Tax from the 2002 CD.
Didn't know it was there until Zone Alarm notified me it was trying to call
home.
