I am running WXP with IE6. How can I block a particular web site (adsandads.com) which repeatedly opens windows when I am on line. The site seems to be trying to sell me online ads.

consider implementing a anti-ad/spyware hosts file. Google hosts file for links. This would be in addition to the above recommendations.
