Internet problems and annoyances? Here are my recommended programs:
Ad-Aware: I am shocked by the number of people who still do not know of this program. It's a must for people who go online even once, for any reason. Removes a lot of known Spyware programs from the registry. Particularly ineffective against CoolWebSearch program and its variants, though.
CWShredder: Removes variants of CoolWebSearch hijack-type programs. I can not endorse this site's HijackThis program, though. It didn't work for me.
Pop-Up Stopper: It's able to stop almost every pop-up ad. The only downsides are that it's unable to block all forms of pop-up ads, and you have to shut it off sometimes in order to be able to play some online games, fill out some online contest forms, and anything else that might entail a pop-up window. The good thing is that I have yet to encounter a type of pop-up that this thing fails to block. Download the Free Edition.
Spybot Search & Destroy: A decent supplement to CWShredder. Some things that don't get picked up by CWShredder get picked up by Spybot, and vice-versa.
Shopping for a new car? Try the following sites:
Good places to start for car shopping: CarsDirect.com, CarPoint.

Juliette: This is as good a link as I could find to the artist who sang that beautiful remake of "The Last Unicorn" with In-Mood. She is unsigned as of this writing.
Steven Cravis: If you like piano music, give this guy a try. Great stuff.
