Im so effin sick of this bullsh|t. i cant beleive its legal. i have to spend 2 hours a day deleating this crap. and some of it just wond go away. I havent met 1 person that has any opinion of then other than hatred, so why dont we boycott the products represented in them? and WHO THE HELL clicks on them and got them popular in the first place. i especially hate the decieving ones that look like a warning window so you click ok, and open their site. not cuz im dumb enought to click on them, but because the intent is so lame and dishonest. that would be like putting a parking ticket on someone's car, with an ad for the local dating service in it.
anyone else frustrated to the point of no return by this?

Mozilla Firebird.

Use it as your browser, and half your problems will go away.

If you use Outlook Express, use Mozilla Thunderbird as you mail client, and another 40% will go away.

That leaves you with 1/10th of the problems to mop up.

Give Firefox a try. I switched when it first came out (it was Mozilla then) and haven't used IE at home since. There are a few differences, but once you get used to them, it's a superior browser. No pop-ups ever and tabbed browsing.

Some sites that might help you:
