I recently started using this as my internet service provider, and now I'm having issues with it. It comes with this free popup-blocking software called "Popup Scrubber 2". Well apparently it's some sort of spyware and Earthlink is able to control your computer with it somehow. See this article:

I'm freaked out now b/c I tried to do a search on my computer for this program, and it doesn't show up anywhere. It is blocking GOOD popups, like from places where I have to enter data (i.e. message boards, e-mail, etc.).
Even more scary, I went to google.com and typed in "popup scrubber 2" to try and find some info, and the popup thing blocked the search results!!!
I know there's something fishy about that, because when I searched on google for anything else, it turned out fine.
Has anyone else been having trouble with Earthlink, or another ISP/popup blocker program?
