Techies, You Are Missing the Point
Folks, forget all the technical mumbo-jumbo (although some of the suggestions were really quite useful). The issue, to me, is the complete violation of privacy and property involved in this crap. For an administration that is so property-oriented, it is terrible that so little thought goes into how to root some of this behavior out at its source.
I know that the web is a "Wild West" environment in most cases and I don't want to see its essential openness totally constrained, but when pop-ups and spyware end up on my computer, someone's fist has hit my nose and it's time to install some regulation. Or, give me the tools to fight back...
