Maximum Hardware (http://www.max-hdw.com) just posted an editorial entitled "Buy One Get One Free" (http://www.max-hdw.com/editorials/buyone/e_1.shtml) which focuses on pop-up advertising, the favorite toy of online advertisers. Here's a snip:

There is no doubt that the Internet has revolutionized the way people live. I was talking with a friend of mine the other day on the phone, doing a little browsing and bam, something flashes up on my screen. You know what I am talking about - the good old X10pop up ad. It wasn't the first time, nor was it the last, I know you have all seen them, it is impossible not to.

Pretty interesting, and it's worth a read.

I don't see them at all!

Use "Atguard" to get rid of banners.
Use "Pop-UP stopper" to get rid of the rest.

Even works on Adware.
