I have win98se and ms .net framework installed. Installed fine and stopped an average amount of popups with the basic configuration. When I tried to reconfigure the settings the program now fails to load. Oh well could be issues with my own sytem. This one seemed very promising guess i'll keep searching.

it seems some people are crying that this requires .NET, waa waa, poor baby, that is not the software's fault, that you dont meet the requirements. This program is GREAT if you have XP Pro and .NET installed.
Requires .NET-- don't bother
