[TenTec] "Yahoo"

I also had bad experiences with Yahoo after they bought out Prodigy and proceeded to ruin it quite effectively!  The ONLY good thing I have to say about Yahoo is that they did give me a refund for the unused part of my paid annual subscription to Prodigy.
I have had VERY good luck with two programs that deal with advertising.  One is called "NoPops" (I wonder why?) and the other is called "AdsGone".  Both work very well but I have found that AdsGone is the better of the two.  It is customizable so that it can either tell you what it is blocking or be set to block stuff without bothering you with the gory details.  I have it set that way and have NO problem with advertising.  I have Verizon DSL now but there are still plenty of ads. (or were until I started using AdsGone)
I regret that I do not recall where I got this program!  It was possibly featured on "NoNags Plus" but I am not sure.  Perhaps it can be found by doing a search with Google or some similar tool.  Good Luck & 73,  Bill
