Hiding Out
 
Have you ever bought anything from a pop-up/ad banner?

Be honest, just wondering if people are actually wasting money buying that ad-space.

Popup advertisers are the telemarketers of the internet. Worse than the email spammers. God bless pop-up stopper!

actually started using Eudora back when I was using the ad version of Opera (6.03 I think) and they had a banner ad for it. Used it for long while until I jumped over to pegasus.

You had gator installed on your computer. Maybe from downloading KaZaA or something like that.

You need something like Ad-Aware to remove all traces of it.

Because of Brodie's suggestion Mrs. Polo's breasts are noticeably fuller because of Bloussant . It really is a wonder drug !
Also our cows milk yield has improved dramatically thanks to BLOUSSANT!
I would of never discover this modern miracle without the aid of a Pop Up Ad .



Heh .

I deliberately avoid buying products or services from companies that use pop-up advertising. I consider it to be an unnecessary, invasive, annoying medium.
