Hay Bob what are spiders?

Andy did you get the cables on you fish finders in the sleeves material yet?

Harry, we asked the same question. here is the answer J.P. gave us,
"Spiders are the search engines indexing the site"

You got good spiders bots and you have bad spiders bots.
If you want to call them good bots that just track you like (Google) and bad bots that steal email and information.

Thanks for info guys.

Hay Tom is that the same thing that causes popups?

Harry, I did get the sleeve on my fish finder and it looks pretty slick. I have the rest in my garage to get back to you. I'll give it to Keith on Friday if you won't be there. Thanks for letting me have some!

Also, bots do not cause pop-ups. Those are generated from web sites you are hitting.

Andy

What Bob is talking about No it don't cause Pop-ups it is just indexing site for search engine to find web pages on the Internet.

Most site Pop-up are usually created by advertisers
Some Pop-ups are coded in.
Some Pop-ups are generated by Ad-ware & Spyware.
Turn on your Browser Pop-up Blocker.
Some site are Hijack by Pop-ups or just plain HiJacked. Which is a problem for the Website owner.

If Pop-ups are coming from your compute it may coming from a port you need to harden you firewall.
You will need to find what has HiJack your computer.
Increase the security settings in the browser so that Activex controls won't install automatically.

Beware of chain email they can be source of Malware, Trojans and computer Virus.


Use an application-based firewall if you don't have a router Firewall. If you do have a Firewall use it anyway (application-based firewall).
Use a Anti-virus program to scan your computer often.

Thanks Andy and Tom for the info.

Yeah ProMo is trying to learn how to be a boat guru.
