>Pop-up ads< From the Kim Komando Free Newsletter: One such program that I have been using for sometime with Much success is PopUp Killer (http://software.xfx.net/utilities/popupkiller). This free program watches over your browsing and wipes out pop-up windows in a fully automatic or manual mode. PopNot (www.hdsoft.com/popnot) and Pop-Up Stopper (www.panicware.com/product_dpps.html) are similar products that also feature audio alerts whenever a pop-up has been blocked. Both applications are free to download and try but PopNot costs $12 if you decide to keep it. Even with a pop-up destroyer program installed, those boundless ads for X10 products seem to slip through the cracks. This company's effective "pop-under" ads are linked from many popular Web sites. You can turn them off, at least for 30 days at a time. To disable X10 advertising, go to www.x10.com/x10ads.htm and click on "remove the ads!" komando.com
