Does anyone find it REALLY annoying when you want to do something on the internet in as little time as possible, except that stops you because a stupid banner pops up? If anyone suffers like I do, or you don't suffer at all, then post replys here...

There are no pop-ups at Tolkien Trail or Entmoot that I have installed. If you see any, some spyware program like Kazaa must've put them there.

I hate pop-up adds! But my dad won't let me install one. Because he is programming one and my computer is going to be the tester.:rolleyes:

I've got AdMuncher, which you can download from ZDNet or CNet, it stops pop-ups, and chops banners out of pages. It replaces them with "banner removed"; you can set it to knock out keywords, URLs, all sorts. And you can turn it off when you need to look at something with all the graphics in place.
