Everyone has a different tolerance for pain. My physical tolerance is so high it is dangerous because my body can be seriously injured before I know about the problem – but my emotional tolerance is very low.
I have been having trouble with "pop-ups" – not stopping them…but getting selected ones to come up when I want them.

The real estate MLS for example uses "pop-ups" to bring all of the County zip codes into a display.
Not on my computer. Several months ago I lost that ability, and the ability to play AM radio from a website – and that is a pain because I live in one of those areas where AM reception ranks from poor to terrible.

At the same time a new ultraviolet lamp in my Koi pond placed a blanket of 60 cycle hum across the AM band, AND I could not listen via a website. (Yes, I checked the polarity, and re-grounded the circuit...nothing worked. Suggestions?)

So I called Rod Chan who sees these problems daily, and his analysis was some TSR was blocking my popups when I didn’t want it to…it turned out to be Adwatch…

That is too bad because I paid for that program and hated to lose it…it worked well, except for the blocking of EVERY popup, wanted or not.

So I downloaded Spysubtract and paid $39 for it.

Unfortunately, after many tries, I could not get the Activation Code they sent me to work. I called their customer Support toll-free number. After the usual Voice-mail Hell, a disembodied voice told me that problems with an activation code were being taken at ANOTHER toll-free number.

I tried the other number, another Voice-mail Hell and another very nice but unhelpful disembodied voice said, Please go to the website and send us an e-mail."

I did: An e-mail canceling my purchase!

Spysubtract has exceeded my pain tolerance level.

I downloaded and activated Spy Sweeper without any problem.

people who want my money need to make it easy for me to give them my money!
