Your anti-virus has been comprimized, and Internet Exploder is famous for allowing that sh** thru. I might get one or 2 popups that get past Firefox now and again. as soon as I block them, and close them they go away.

You guys don't know nuthin till you can navigate MS-Dos.

We had skills back in the day to play games which required 620 KB of conventional and you only had 640 KB. Command took 20 KB, MSCDEX took 25 KB, Mouse took 15 kb and Soundblaster took 10 KB. You had 8 MB of EMS memory but the game only used 4 MB. If you guys can actually tell me how to do this I'll rep ya.
