Tech question
I use Microsoft Internet Explorer. I have a pop up blocker that stopped the old types of pop up windows - the kind that weren't 3d images and popped up as other windows.

Is there a program out there that can stop the 3d pop up windows?

3. Just about any Non-MS browser
I use Safari on the Mac, fully web-standards compliant.

Pop ups? What pop ups? I've heard tell of them, but not seen one since saying sayonara to Gatesware.

4. I use Mozilla too, and haven't seen any of these ads on it, but
I do have a popup/ad stopper shareware program called 'AdsGone' that will block ad servers. It IDs ads intuitively, but you also can manually enter the server address -- and they also keep a database of ad servers from which you can periodically download new server addresses:

http://www.adsgone.com

It's designed to work with both Netscape and Microsoft based browsers.

Worth a look at the page, for you, if you want to keep using IE.
