Fighting Pop-Ups with Pop-Ups

I conducted another experiment yesterday with the pop-up ads I've been so angry about to where I want to put the person responsible for the coding into space without any protection of any kind.

I ran Live365, an internet radio service, and found that their pop-up ads that appear because I'm not a paying member actually override whatever is on my system that gives me pop-up ads out the ass. As long as I have one of my three preset stations playing, my pop-up count is cut by at least half!

Now I know what they mean by fighting fire with fire.

Adaware gets rid of spyware ok. The free version doesn't do pop ups. This link should help. - firemind (http://firemind2.blogspot.com)
