Yeah, mozilla is not used as much. I think they target IE because of it's wider usage. Diggery - One more thing to try is- * Click on "tools" in the upper right corner. * Click on the "Pop Up Blocker". * Click on "Pop Up Blocker Settings" * When the window opens, look all the way at the bottom and there will be a drop down menu for the "Blocking Level". * I think default is "medium". Change it to "High" and see if that helps. Of course if it is on "low", then use "medium" and that should help. If that doesn't work you need to remove the spyware application on your computer. There is software that can do it for you, or do a search on how to do it yourself from a university or computer geek forum. I understand your frustration with the pop up's. I can't stand them. With me, I get a negative relation with the product. So if I see it on the store shelf, I think " those are the _______'s that are so annoying to me when I'm trying to do something on the internet. Why would I use there _________?" (Fill in the blanks with your favorite choice of words)

I think it depends upon your platform (Mac? Windows?) and which software you're using to browse. Can you give us more info? Here: Windows Vista using Firefox. Tools > Options > Content tab. Make sure the Block pop-ups box is checked. Most modern browsers have some equivalent. Look for Options or Preferences under the Tools menu (sometimes Edit menu). Browsers have gotten wise; It's a lot easier than it used to be. Ana

Copy and paste of my post on the Kitchen Table forum. Posted in thread titled "Driving Me Over The Edge". ------------------------------------ I don't see ads. None, nada, zip, nothing. It is real easy. Just edit your HOST file. The link below tells what you need to do. You will still need a pop up blocker. Otherwise, pages would pop up, but you would get a message saying "this page cannot be displayed." Pooh Bear Here is a link that might be useful: Use your HOST file to block ads

I agree that pop-ups are horribly annoying. I understand that the web site needs advertisers to pay the bills, but they do not need to be animated pop ups that dominate the entire screen and make horrible noises (remember that terrible termite one that made camera noises???). And yes....I would be MORE than happy to pay a fee to have no advertising.
