True, there's nothing to beat personal experience and an actual physical visit to other countries, but for many of us, that's just not possible. I used to be bothered by banner ads all over the place, but have gotten to a ...

Having used Ad-aware to get rid of the Spyware on you machine and installed a ZoneAlarm Firewall to keep them away, the user could be forgiven for being baffled as to what the reports actually mean.
