Chair, All, with respect to pop up ads mentioned in the Daily Update - I HATE THEM! Why advertisers would think being annoying is going to spur people to buy their product is beyond me. The absolute worst are those that have no window so that you can't get away from them without restarting the computer. I've tried Web Washer and didn't notice much of an improvement. There's a thread running on this, maybe some of their suggestions will help.

Pop-ups strike out with Internet advertisers

BBL, morning duties call.

You can find them in the task manager. CTRL-ALT-DEL once will pop it up in Windows NT/2K/XP (I haven't used 95/98/ME in so long I've forgotten if it works there). Just close anything that is Internet Explorer or Netscape.
