I am sure everyone remembers those completely annoying X-10 camera ads that were popping up all over the net a while back. You couldn't log on with out seeing one somewhere. The company that brought new meaning to the word nusiance has filed for bankruptcy. I don't think that many people will be missing them. Article here.
That's good old fashioned excellent.
That reminds me. Google Toolbar has a pretty effective pop-up blocker built in now. Been using the G.T. for a couple years and didn't even realize it. I was using an old Freeware program - Popup Killer - but didn't bother reinstalling it this time after I reloaded my machine a couple weeks ago. Only thing I miss Popup Killer for was that it was very effective against the Geocities corner ads.

Mozilla. it also has tabbed browsing, is less vulnerable to various security flaws than Internet Exploder, and is generally better than IE in most situations. Once you've had tabs, you'll never go back. ;) I normally use Safari and Konqueror myself, but Mozilla's actually better in some ways. A google toolbar is also built in to Safari and is available for Mozilla.
I still use popup killer... it looks like it is no longer supported, but you can still download it...
