I never got that one before, but I hate those banners that if you rollover them with your mouse cursor they drop down. They are so freakin' annoying!

LOL, nice timing...

I've never got that before. But I have an Ad-Zapper so most of the pop-ups don't get past that.

I think all pop-up adds should die

Could that be MS POP (Messenger Spam)? I know MS POP usually has the words "Messenger Service" at the top of the dialog box, but that might be a more advanced form of it. Try following the instructions here.

When you put your mouse over it, does the cursor change into a "finger," like it's a link to something? Have you updated your Ad-Aware lately?

I will try and deselect that one if I can find it, but it helps to know what company it is for. I can't manually select/deselect every ad as it becomes available unfortunately but it helps to know when you come across a truly annoying or offensive ad.

dawsongirl · 08-19-2003, 12:28 AM

I just got that! Scared me. I really thought maybe there was something wrong.

Stormtracker TF · 08-19-2003, 12:29 AM
