Pop-Up Advertisement Question

[Mikey]

I have pop-up blocker software that works except for one kind of instance.  There are a couple of places I visit where they have apparently embedded an advertising pop-up into the link.  The ads are usually NetFlix or Classmates.  Thus when I click on the link to take me to the site I want to visit it sometimes opens a pop-up ad which opens momentarily and then immediately drops down to my task-bar.  Sometimes I have to click on the link a second time to get it to open.  The links to these sites don't do it every time but enough times to make it a nuisance.   What can I do to stop these irritating ads?

I have the exact same thing happening on my computer.  Same ads as you.  I run Trend Micro PC-cillin.  Wish we could get an answer.

I use Trend also Karen.  It catches everything else except those tricky one's that they somehow hide in with a link.

ditto here... only thing to do is tell the owners of the web page you will boycott their products??

That will only give them your email address....for more garbage!

If you use either IE or MF for searching isn't there, in the upper right hand corner a place to disable pop ups? 

[Mikey]

My popup thing is engaged....and happily engaged at that    but it doesn't catch those sneaky ones and neither does my anti-virus popup catcher....

Come to think of it,  I read the website for Better Homes and Garden and they always have pop-ups for subscribing to their magazine.  Must be a built-in that cannot be caught by these programs.

I get an annoying one from "Lime Wire" It is there everyday to welcome me!  hate it.
Also my computer keeps telling me I am low on disc space, it's not true, not even close.
I would like both of these to be gone! Oh yeah an "Apple" update offer is also a pain

[-Greg-]

Jerry, have you done the "apple" quicktime and itunes update? Once you install the updates at least that one should disappear. Also I would suggest staying as far away from limewire as possible!

Years ago I got lime wire  ohmy it was a monster.  Good idea on Apple.

Good for you Jerry, one of these days hopefully we will see you in a Ford or Lincoln Mercury commercial!

From your lips to Gods ears.  Yes God has more important things to take care of ! LOL

I did it and all by myself.  I went to the control panel and found a place listing what is allowed.
Lime Wire was there. I um checked the box and whoopee it's gone.
