Popup Madness

[BRush]

Something has changed. Either on my browser (IE 5.5) or on DRN. In the last couple of days, every single time I change pages in DRN, I get the popup. The problem for me is that at work, the corporate monitor program does not like something about the popup’s URL and intercepts it and displays a stern “site forbidden, we are watching you” message. I’m fairly sure there’s counter and special attention is paid to users who exceed some unknown threshold. Even though I browse at lunch, I’d rather not have that kind of attention. I’ve already changed my default to one of the “Adfree” skins. Is there anything else I can do?

There are lots of programs out there that will block pop up ads. Here's a link to one Click Here The download link is at the bottom of the page.

If you log out it will pop up when you come back. I just stayed logged in all the time.

I've got an infestation of th "xads" generator on my computer, does anyone know how to make it stop? I'm not interested in reducing debt or increasing, well....I'll leave it at that, death to the popup windows :aj:

download ad-aware, you may be infected with spyware

I use "Norton Internet Security". It blocks pop-ups, has firewall protection, parental control, intrusion detection, antivirus and it even has this "Trash can" I can open and paste any address in there and you’ll never see another ad or spam from that address again. I works on my e-mail also. I think it cost like $49.00 a year for a good package. Check it out.

I have ad aware but it doesn't detect the xad gen. I know it's on here because it's files are in the system folder but can't be deleted. It's an annoyance more than anything but I still dislike it.
