Hello all,
I just thought it interesting at how many of those internet popups are violent.
"Shoot the terrorist"
"Beat the robber"
"Shoot the enemy"

and win blah blah blah in the processs, (if you buy this this this and that)


Anyway, what do you all thinkof these type popups??? do they annoy you? What are your experiences with them? has anyone actually gone on and jumped all the hoops and actually received a prize from one of these popups?

Corran
I use firefox instead of ie that seems to block them all. If you upgrade to the latest version of Windows Internet explorer you should br able to block most of them, but not all.

Oh btw - Hey Julie big grin

Firefox is the answer wink

Napalm
Shooting the terrorist is fun.

Julie
yes it is...I never said it wasn't but just that its violent

Julie
BTW, hello Corran...long time no see.....very long time

Get Firefox or the Google Toolbar for IE.

As for advertisments in general, I hate them wink

Julie

Storm

I rock IE with the Google tool bar and that does a pretty descent job. I also have been using Microsoft's anti-spyware beta and that seems to work pretty well.

Corran
You shouls not get pop-ups once you install and use firefox.

What do I think of annoying, "violent" pop-up ads? They make me want to kill the people who created them.

I ignore the ads unless they're those creepy talking ones that would occasionally come up on here. Those are gone, though.
