If you want to get rid of all the popups there is a free program that does it very well:

OK..then my next question is this.
As I upload, download, install and kick out the old crud I KNOW I'm gonna start to have computer problems. Things will start going wiggy on me and I won't have a clue how to fix it.
I would love to try out more of these things like pop-up stoppers, but geez..how do I know if they'll be compatable with my 'puter and everything else I have on this here hunk o' junk? I'd hate to wreck a perfectly good computer. LOL

Minimum requirements should be posted for the software. I don't think Popup-stopper is very invasive or resource intensive...
