Well, Either Spyware Blaster, Spybot, or Adaware got so sick of Drudge Reports spyware and popups that I can no longer access the site at all with internet explorer OR Firefox. I was going to try to figure out which app banned Drudge, and then I found a Drudge Boycott complete with a bootlegged RSS feed So, If you read Drudge but are sick of the pop ups and spyware, visit My Blog for either 1) Spyware free Drudge Headlines (God knows he can't write his own headlines) or 2) info on how to get a bootlegged Drudge without spyware via RSS for your RSS reader or your own blog yourself. Fuck Matt Drudge and the Spyware his blue dress rode in on!

What spyware? The pop-ups, yeah.. PITA, but I was not aware there was spyware being installed from the site.

From: Ghoti Nyak What spyware? The pop-ups, yeah.. PITA, but I was not aware there was spyware being installed from the site.
-Ghoti I wasn't either until I had to use a windows 95 machine (with most vulnerabilities) pretty much just to access Drudge for a bit. I left it on Drudge on cable when I went to sleep and id have like 45 pop ups open in the morning. And then I started having random crashes, lock ups, instability, lagginess. So I installed spybot (adaware wouldn't run on windows 95) and there was a ton of spyware, some that couldn't even be removed. I think XP is more secure, but the fact drudge lets the spyware continue to be hosted on his site is inexcusable.
