DR: Are you using Windows?
If you are, you have a no-cost remedy immediately to hand.

Look on your PC for a file called hosts.
In Windows ME you'll find it he C:\WINDOWS\hosts
In Win 2000 it's he C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

You can edit this file with Notepad.

Add these lines to block the pop-ups on this site:

127.0.0.1 www.banners.4d5.net
127.0.0.1 banners.4d5.net
127.0.0.1 www.4d5.net

If you want to block the advert panel at the top, add this line:

127.0.0.1 pagead2.googlesyndication.com

If you want to block the paypal advert at the bottom of the page, which
is the item that generates the warning symbol in IE, add this:

127.0.0.1 www.paypal.com

And if you want to block the page's counter, add this:

127.0.0.1 c3.thecounter.com

Now you can browse *that* site in privacy.
