For the more adventurous types on this list I suggest that you check out the Proxomitron program. It will filter allot of nefarious elements from websites while allowing normal surfing without the usual distractions. It is freeware and better than most of the commercial filter programs on the net. There is a bit of a learning curve, but nothing insurmountable. If I can use it then anyone with a little grit can too. Good luck and enjoy.

Closing the pop ups only triggered a reload and I couldn't get rid of them and made the explorer browser unuseable. Why they thought I'd vist the sites instead of just being pissed about the invasion, I don't know. Anyhow, I installed the zone alarm firewall and haven't had any trouble since. And it lets me know when people are trying to get into my computer. [several times an hour] Disabling Java gets rid of pop ups but also gets rid of the ability to view some websites.
