Default @#$%^ pop-up ads!
Awright, what does everybody use to block those annoying pop-ups? There's gotta be a way. I have kids on the computer sometimes, and some of the ads aren't exactly, well, decent. :blush:
Any recommendations for software?

I also would like to know the answer to this. I use Norton Firewall which is supposed to stop these pop up adds. I still get them all the time. Sometimes as many as 6 or 7 at once.

Do a web search for "Avant Browser" it is a internet explorer type browser that includes a button that eliminates pop-ups. I use it and love it. It will import all your favorites/bookmarks easily and has more simple functionality than IE or Netscape. AND NO POP UPS!!!
