A growing frustration with many web sites on the 'Net is the use of pop-up or pop-under, or completely-take-over-your-computer advertising. There are many new software packages on the market designed to block such ads from your life. There is a feature of Internet Explorer that you can use to block such ads yourself, however, if you know how. In IE, click the Tools menu, and choose Internet Options, and then click the Security tab. A shortcut to this same screen is to double-click in the gray area along the bottom right corner of IE, where it shows what "zone" you are viewing (such as Internet, with a small globe to the left). In this screen, click the Restricted Sites icon, and then click the "Sites..." button. Enter in the last portion of the site of the advertiser you wish to block. For instance, if the popup ad is coming from www.widget.com, then you can enter in widget.com, then click add. From now on, any page from that company will be blocked, including ads. It may time some tweaking to get it to work correctly, and for all ads, but it may be worth it.

Did it stop? With the exception of a little trial and error, everything we have learned about the internet we have learned from someone else. Perhaps, though, if we work together and compare notes we can get through the next twenty years without throwing the computer through the window.

Try using the Mozilla internet browser. It's faster and more secure than IE. Although i use IE for windows updates or sites that ONLY support IE. I use Mozilla for regular surfing. Mozilla has a built-in pop-up/ad blocker to get rid of those NASTY PESKY ADS. Try it and see what you think! Good Luck!
