Put an end to those annoying ads that double your homework time — or more importantly, interrupt your Web surfing. Tom Roderick, student technology coordinator for Information Technology, recommends checking the Microsoft Web site, www.microsoft.com, for any updates that your computer needs. The Microsoft Windows Update page scans and installs updates like the Service Pack 2, which has a built in pop-up blocker. Roderick suggests downloading spy-ware removal tools called Ad-aware and Spybot from www.download.com.
