Beating the 'Bar
Since Tex in the City, LLC came about and with this website, Spam has been a mounting problem for me. Each day I get between 40 and 75 messages a day. Fortunately there are great anti-spam products and some of the best ones are free. I am currently using Spamihilator for one site and SpamAssassin for another. They are better than the trial version of Coffee Cup I put on my computer and then deleted.
Anyway it seems that one of the pests got through and I found myself with Surfer Bar as a toolbar on my computer. It piggy -backed onto google or something. I couldn't use Google's Toolbar without getting sucked into Surfer Bar.
A big thanks goes out to the folks at PC Hell. They gave me step by step instructions on how to beat the bar! I went into the bowels of my computer, did a little kung-fu computing and kazaam! Surfer Bar is dead on my computer. At least for now. Like any good action flick, I feel sure there will be a sequel. But for now I feel like a super hero victorious. I think I'll go have a barbecue with some cuddly little Ewoks.
