[Companion] Suggestion RE anti-spyware and popup blocker frequent questions

[George Worley]

I have a suggestion on this issue.

1) Spyware button --> 1st launched takes you to a page explaining why it 
isn't supported and then tell you how to configure the button to launch 
the Spyware program of your choice.

2) Popup button --> 1st press of button takes you to a page tell you why 
it isn't supported then disables the button while keeping track of how 
many pop's that have been blocked by Mozilla/Firefox depending on the 
browser actually used.

Just a suggestion.

George
