Visiting sites loaded with spyware

Is there any way around it if you like the content? I've been frequenting bored.com (it has some fun flash games), but it's been giving me pop up problems.

I use firefox, but it makes pop ups come out of internet explorer, which I apparently can't delete(?)

It's no big deal, I just run spybot and it gets rid of everything, but it's a bit of a pain.

I knew that would be the common response. I should just look for another site with flash games.

Kongregate.com

The badge system is a nice little plus, and they often feature indie games.

Ha, that's sweet! I just played Narc for a minute. Does anyone remember the big stink that was made about that game because it was too violent (ie Animated Blood!!!) The exploding body parts nearly made me puke!!

Most of my casual gaming these days is on my iPhone - Cro Mag Rally, PapiJump, Galcon Lite, ColorRise, Aurora Feint and Fuzzle. I'll have to check out virtualNES though. If I'm on my PC I want to play some nice graphic-intensive games usually.
