Does adaware stop WWW.LOP.COM, i've seen this site take over the internet settings like a weed, it's scary.

Nemisis010, I don't believe it does at the present time. The link below has good info on lop.com and how to deal with it.

I hope the download for the Plus is in the mail, I have a heck of a time getting my download , things must really clog up when they issue a new update. Good program tho. Last update we received our email notices before the update was issued.
