Turn on their pop up blocker as well as WinXP Service Pak 2's pop-up blocker. See if that stops them. If it doesn't then you'll need to add some other software to get rid of the darn things. I really hate them but I only see a couple a day at the most and that's usually right before an update to the software comes out. I've had it that way for close to 5 years now.

I also don't see much spam. More in the last year than in the past but it's maybe 10 a day at the most and I work at seeing that stuff goes away too. Right now I'm trying to get rid of some stupid mortgage spam and a couple of by prescription meds on line (that will teach me to look for someone's orphan drug to see if I could find a cheaper price for him). Getting rid of the spyware will also cut down the amount of spam you get over time too.

mozilla firefox has a pop up blocker + it appears below the toolbar. seems to work most of the time. only a few get thru'.
