Stopping Pop-Ups
Monday June 12, 2006
Surfing the Web is sometimes slow and irritating enough. You don't want the added frustration of pop-up, pop-under or any sort of 'pop' advertising cluttering up your screen or robbing network bandwidth that could be used to get you the information you want faster. Some pop-up ads may even disguise links to malicious software that could install a Trojan, worm or other malware on your computer. Read Stopping Pop-Ups to learn how you can secure and protect your computer against these intrusive nuisances.

Funny and somewhat ironic…. the first thing to happen when you visit their article about how bad pop-ups are and way to get rid of them…and guess what… a pop-up….pops up…hahahaha
I agree it is somewhat ironic, but when I wrote the original article it was specifically to help my readers avoid that. I have no control over what About.com or its advertisers do, but I don’t see any pop-up ads when I visit About.com (or any other site), and I wanted to provide some tips and techniques for my readers so they can enjoy that same freedom.
