SPAM! How to get rid of it?!

Whenever I search on google, I get a window coming up on my left from my browser showing sponsored sites. Sometimes it keeps popping up! I am also getting huge amounts of junk mail in my email and pop-ups constantly "popping" up.

How does one rid these problems and how does this crap make money anyway? Who clicks on it?

 

Ad-Aware. Do a search for it in Google, it'll kill any adware you've got on your computer.

 

I use Zone Alarm which is a firewall programme that also blocks pop-ups and banners if so desired.

Haven't got a clue how these things make money. Some of them are just too annoying and irritating to make me want to click on them.

"Getting rid of spam? Eat it!"

SPAM
-----------------------------
(lyrics by "Weird Al" Yankovic,
Parody of "Stand" by R.E.M.)

Spam in the place where I live. (ham and pork)
Think about nutrition, wonder what's inside it now. (oh boy)
Spam in my lunchbox at work. (it's the best)
Really makes a darn good sandwich, any way you slice it at all.

If you're running low, go to the store.
Carry some money to help you buy more.
The tab is there to open the can.
The can is there to hold in the spam.

Oh, Spam on the table at home. (ham and pork)
Think about selection, are there different flavors now? (let's eat)
Spam in my office at work. (it's the best)
Think about the stuff it's made from, wonder if it's mystery meat.

If you need a spoon, keep one around.
Carry a thermos to help wash it down.
Now if there's some left, don't just throw it out.
Use it for spackle or bathroom grout, now.

Spam in my pantry at home. (have some more)
Think of expiration, better read the label now. (oh boy)
Spam breakfast, dinner or lunch. (it's the best)
Think about how it's been pre-cooked, wonder if I'll just eat it cold.

Now once you start in, you can't put it down.
Don't leave it sitting or it'll turn brown.
The key is going to open the tin.
The tin is there to keep the spam in.

Oh Spam, Spam. (ham and pork)
Think about nutrition, wonder what's inside it now. (oh boy)
Spam, Spam. (it's the best)
Really makes a darn good sandwich any way you slice it.
Spam in the place where I live. (have some more)
Think about addiction, wonder if I'm a junkie now. (let's eat)
Spam in the place where I work. (you're obsessed)
Think about the way it's processed, wonder if it's some kind of meat.
Spam in the back of my car. (ham and pork)
The tab is there to open the can. (spam any place that you are)
The can is there to hold in the spam. (spam any place that you are)
Oh Spam!

 

Best thing to do to get rid of spam is eat it. Then it becomes anti-spam!

 

JAS, i was waiting for you to do that.
