Pop-ups

So, I was at a torrent site recently, and the page loaded a little slowly and I accidently clicked on one of the links on the page and it downloaded and installed a whole bunch of shitware that causes pop-ups every 3 minutes.

I'm using Naviscope right now, but they still come through and interrupt me.

Anyone have any other suggested blockers because I don't want to reformat right now.

Linux is more secure than Windows because of Linus's Law. The more people who check the code, the more likely bugs are caught. Simple probability. Also, it isn't an abortion, like the 9x/ME kernel was, or a tottering mess like the NT/XP kernel is. You have a point with the "obscure distros," but the simple solution is to use a distro that /is/ widely used. And IE is part of Windows.
