When you install Netscape 7.01, in order not to get all of the add ons,
you must do a CUSTOM INSTALL, and UNCHECK all of those boxes, in order
not to get those "extra junk add ons". The extra time that takes is
worth it, in order to avoid the viruses and pop-ups that plague IE and
OE, IMO. I'm glad I'm rid of Micro$oft's junk on my comp.

Also, Pop-up stopper also works for Netscape 7 as well as Internet
Explorer now.
