Seeing as it seems a lot of you are off today, anyone know of any good free popup blockers. I have adware and can't hardly close 'em fast enough.

Works great, but floaters and mouseover floaters aren't addressed.

not knowing your system, you can try www.ewebguard.com it is free
and if you do not like it you can remove it.

There are some forms of internet advertizing that don't conform to popups.

A floater is just as it says, an ad that 'floats' across the screen - try the site http://www.strangecosmos.com/ - a windows usually floats in from the left side. I have to use the X to kill it.

A mouseover floater is like the ad for 'The Mudds' movie. As you move your mouse over it, more ad material for the movie slides down.

We'll see more of this junk in the future.

One option is to turn off images while surfing. Might be prudent with the current .exe etc. embedding going on with pictures. Microsoft is now fighting that as we type. With images turned off, surfing is faster, and you get to choose what to view.
