Anybody seen the new pop-up ad that looks EXACTLY like the System Shut Down screen you got with the new virus?
It shows the Count-down timer, but the time always shows :50 seconds.

Serious PITA,....when you click on it, it takes you to a vendor's site and you have to close all internet contacts to leave the site.

I put this ID10T is in the same catagory as the moron that started the bug in the first place. > > >

 

I keep getting one about alternatives to marijuana.

 

I'll trade ya. ;D

 

You guys use Pop-up Stopper? It works great and is free. Loads on boot and stays resident. You can turn it off and on. Check it out.

Thanks, downloaded,.....we'll see how it works.

 

You'll like the pop up stopper I have it on both of my computers and it actually WORKS.

BTW if your in a hurry and dont read through it. When you go to open a window and it doesnt let you hold donw the control key while your opening the window. Its like a bypass key.

 

Google just came out with a pop-up stopper for their toolbar as well. I used their toolbar before (pre-pop up blocker) on my old system and really liked it. You could type your keyword in the bar without going to google.com. Now that it has a pop-up blocker as well, I have to put it on my new machine.

 

I use "stop-the-pop-up" Works great. You also have to hold down "shift" and click a link if you want it to come up. ;D

Thumbs up for pop up stopper. Had it for months and works really really well.

 

A second recommendation for Google Pop Up blocker. Have 63 blocks in the last 3 weeks. Happy as a clam. How happy is a clam?

Another supporter for Pop Up Stopper. However i must add that I really like using Mozilla for most internet browsing. It's got a built in pop up blocker and has absolutely never failed me. It's like Netscape in most ways, but has a tabbed browsing feature that i really like; allows you to open several sites within one "window" so your toolbar isn't all clogged. But when i do use IE pop up stopper works great 99% of the time
