    I've contacted our ad networks to block these. They typically respond within 2 business days, so lets hope we get rid of these before the weekend.

    Or "free labor" -- want to volunteer, always need a free helping hand here, say, for 5 days a week, 8 hours a day?-)

    Not to be picky, but just to add this one to the list. Sprint has got a pop-out currently as well.

    Here's a shot.

    LOL! Not to be picky? From what I understand they aren't suppose to even be there!

    Dang! I'm not getting any of these. I guess my Comcast popup blocker must be doing too good of a job.

    Lucky you. Here at my work PC they'll show up even with the aD window minimized. At home i run FireFox with APB and it's not a problem at all.

    It's nuts...all of a sudden everything was a popout ad. Jeez.

    Thank goodness i'm back at home on my pc.

    @Rdmercer...i don't think you'll be disappointed at all. The Fox will be good to you.
