Off: pop up killer software

[Mark Licht]

The Google toolbar effectively blocks pop-ups while using MSIE.
Over 550 ads blocked so far.

PS: More pertinent, perhaps to the original thread is that the problem
lies with the browser---specifically, with M$IE.  Other browsers, such
as current Firefox, Mozilla, and even Netscape 7.1 (all available
under M$-Windows) have built-in functionality that allow you to block
unrequested popup windows in a configurable way via settings in
Preferences.
