Getting rid of popup ads

[Markel]

I know that a link has been posted to allow you to opt out of X-10 ads for a period of time. But this page has a series of links that allow you to opt out of a number of other popup ad sources. Good riddance!

So, do they really work? Call me paranoid, but I don't trust these ad serving companies.

Isn't there a program that will block pop-up ads from the user's end?

Really? I use Panicwares pop-up stopper and it works great for me. I have to toggle it on and off though, but that beats getting the pop-ups.

I use the same thing... never toggle it off or on.... just hit ctrl key when i think another window is gonna pop up that i may need...
