i get a single pop-up window. usually appears when i first log in. if i just minimize it and don't close it, it leaves me alone, then i close it when i'm done.

I'm not talking about the pop-up ad, that's easy because you can just minimize it. I'm talking about it sending you to a whole new site. Like when I just clicked to reply just now it sent me to some "the M.O.M. team" website.

Could just be the settings on this computer. I just restored defaults so we'll see. It was really annoying just now because one of these stupid sites trapped me and I couldn't go back. I deleted all cookies as well so we'll see if that works...

Yeah it musta just been the way my parents' computer was set up, because all the ads that were coming up as a whole page there are coming up as pop-ups here. Weird though that it did that even after I restored default settings.
