I installed DirectX 8.1 to play PtW and aparently the net company that runs a portal called Xupiter.com snuck a parisite spy program that sneaks extra pop-ups, ruins my security, and gives me more junk mail. I try to delete it but windows won't let me. Capitalist bast@rds.

I love Capitalism because it is the only system that works.
You might want to try another capitalist invention called Ad-aware?For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

The Soviet Union's adoption of communism and the subsequent rapid industrialization of that country suggest otherwise.
Anyways... Odin, it is most likely spyware... and ad-aware could be the program to remove it.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

I have doubts that PtW is the source of your problems, but either way I use a program called SpyBot Search & Destroy v1-1. It's pretty good at killing things on my computer that shouldn't be there and are there against my wishes. I don't know if Xupiter.com crap is checked for, but chances are good that it is. Good Luck.
The cake is NOT a lie. It's so delicious and moist.
The Weighted Companion Cube is cheating on you, that slut.

A better analogy would be that you're talking on a Nokia just fine and suddenly someone from Samsung comes over, grabs the phone out of your hand, throws it on the ground and smashes it.Tutto nel mondo è burla

You have to remember that the cold war was costing the Soviet Union something in the region of half of its GCP by the time it collapsed. Its hard to maintain an economic structure working under that strain. No-one disputes that Capitalism is abetter wealth creator than any other economic system but left in isolation a command lead economy can also work.
I vaguelly recall having this argument before so to save time and effort, I'll conceed the argument now but I do have a valid point.(+1)

Face it, Capitalism is way better than communism.
