    Almost zero popups, no popup blocker software...I don't see how you guys have so much trouble...

    looking at that list if i block al connections to 127.0.0.0 - 127.255.255.255 should that stop a lot of the adverts?

    If you are that bothered, alter the registry. Sorted-NO more pop up windows.

    Mind you, you wont be able to use lots of sites. Ho hum.
    Such is life.
