'Full blown' spyware every day?

You're either very unlucky or a glutton for some very suspect programs/web-
sites.

What's wrong with all the good free spyware killers out there?

Have you just about had it with sneaky spyware installations, pesky
third-party cookies from big advertisers and marketers, and the unending
blizzard of popups and popunders from web sites? Haven't you really had just
about enough of these obnoxious, invasive practices that violate your
privacy?

Then it's time you said, "Enough is Enough!"
https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/resource6.htm

Enough is Enough! is a lockdown utility for Internet Explorer 5 and 6. When
you install Enough is Enough!, it will:

* Lock down your Internet and Restricted sites zones with restrictive
settings for dangerous options like ActiveX, Java, scripting, and a few
others.

* Severely restrict the use of cookies (but not completely disable them for
trusted web sites or for single session use).

* Disable AutoComplete and the Profile Assistant, and clear existing
AutoComplete data.

* Disable several Advanced settings, including Install on Demand and
Third-party Browser Extensions.

* Install Microsoft's IE PowerTweaks WebZone Accessory, putting two new
options on your Tools menu: "Add to Trusted Zone" and "Add to Restricted
Zone."

See the ReadMe for complete details on the settings Enough is Enough!
configures for Internet Explorer.

You can download Enough is Enough! here:

http://www.staff.uiuc.edu/~ehowes/enough.zip

- or -

http://www.staff.uiuc.edu/~ehowes/enough.exe

You can peruse the full ReadMe.txt for Enough is Enough! here:

http://www.staff.uiuc.edu/~ehowes/enough.txt

With these new Internet Explorer settings you will be protected from the
more dangerous elements of the web without having to worry about putting
known nasties into your Restricted sites zone. You'll be protected from
rogue crapware installations (e.g., Gator, BonziBuddy, Lop.com, and the
like). You won't be accepting cookies from direct marketing outfits who seek
to monitor and track your travels around the Net. You'll also put an end to
annoying, useless popups at most sites by default.

In short, Internet Explorer will start behaving as YOU want it to behave,
not as direct marketers and spyware pushers want it to behave. What you do
with Enough is Enough! is enforce your very own "opt-in" policy: no web
sites get to use permanent cookies, ActiveX, Java, JavaScript and other
dangerous Internet Explorer options until you explicitly give them the
go-ahead by putting those sites into your Trusted zone.

** Caution! **

A word of warning: the severely restrictive IE settings that Enough is
Enough! uses will break many web sites until you add them to your Trusted
sites zone.

Keep in mind that you can always tweak IE's settings through the Internet
Options box after installing Enough is Enough!

And of course, Enough is Enough! installs Microsoft's Power Tweaks WebZone
Accessory so that you can quickly and conveniently add sites you visit
frequently (and which require permanent cookies or certain active content)
to the Trusted sites zone.

** More than Enough? **

Enough is Enough! isn't for everyone, however. If taking the time to add
sites to your Trusted sites zone is too inconvenient and frustrating for you
to deal with, then Enough is Enough! might be "more than enough" for you --
it might be too much.

There are also several uninstallation options, so you're not stuck with
Enough is Enough! by any means, should you decide that it's not for you (see
the "Uninstallation" section below for more details).

If Enough is Enough! isn't for you, you might consider downloading and
installing IE-SPYAD. IE-SPYAD will add a long list of known advertisers,
marketers, and crapware pushers to your Restricted zone, giving you a large
measure of protection from the nastier elements of the web while still
allowing you to keep your Internet zone settings fairly loose.

You can download IE-SPYAD here:
