For some reason, lately, I’ve been coming across more than the usual amount of unholy things on the internet. Not so much things that cause people to sin (e.g.- overt misuse of sexuality) but seriously demonic stuff that’s disturbing to me, at least. For instance, a pop-up ad that would not close where a hideous demon opens its mouth in your face (turned out to be an ad for some horror film) and a disgusting website featuring various misuses of the blessed sacrament (don’t even want to repeat what I saw there).

Anyone else experiencing this (or experienced it in the past)? What are the best defenses? I already have a Sacred Heart image on my desktop and a few sacramentals around in my room (rosary, blessed palms)…what’s a girl to do?? :eek:
 
The best advice I can give to you is to pray for help and guidence during these times of trouble. I would advise not looking at videos or photos of befoulment of the Blessed Sacrament. That is a serious offense to Jesus Christ, and it offends him when people watch that.

firefox + ad blocker pro + no-script = answer

Yep, a big advantage of Firefox is that it lets you customize your browser so that pop-ups and ads can be blocked. I think its worth dumping Internet Explorer for that reason alone.

I am not familiar with the No Script add-on (but I just downloaded it, thanks Lynx!), however I have been using the Adblock Plus add-on for a year and I strongly recommend it.

Glad to be of help. The only draw back with noscript is you always need to let it know what website content to allow. However this probably a better practice than not. While we’re on firefox extensions let me recommend, addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/53880 , it’s a great memory management tool from a very Christian developer memoryfoxcatalog.blogspot.com/2010/03/memory-fox-catalog.html . He purportedly develops programs for God.
 
Thanks, guys. I’ve been using Firefox and did have pop-ups blocked at the time…not sure how that movie ad got around the blocker, but any-who…will do some more research into these programs…
