The website below pushes unwanted pop up screens all over yer darn computer

Just what is your problem? Do you still expect a free lunch at your
age? If you want something you've got to pay for it and message boards
are no different. Either you pay cash, or on the internet you get some
adverts. Do you get "free" newspapers through your front door? Same
principle!


Just run anti-popup software. Pop-up ad filter from Meaya works for me,
but there are others. Run Spybot too - many of the pop-ups 'kindly' dump
malware on your computer.
