Anyone else have a problem with popup ads? I have a popup blocker, but a
fat lot of good it does. It's also the same ones over and over again. I
went AFK for an hour once and when I came back, the list under internet
explorer showed 25 things. I think there's a certain line to draw when they
become so overwhelmingly numerous you feel like taking your computer and
throwing it out the window of your second-story bedroom window (in my case)

If they're popping up when you're not browsing the web, then you've got
spyware or adware on your computer. Use a spyware remover and quit
installing spyware. A popup blocker won't help since those are just for
popup ads on websites - and spyware is made to bypass that stuff anyway.

no, the popup adds that I hate the most are when you are looking for porn
on the internet and everytime you think you find something interesting
about 20 popup adds appear in each window, then it is like a game trying to
close them all and keep them closed because they keep popping back up.
