I've noticed a lot of popups coming from no where...and all
i run is soulseek, and sometmes my sis runs AIM, or MSNIM,
but i usually close those dwn as soon as i hop on the PC...

anyone else notice this?

i dunno... thou the latest trend is to have pop-ups pop-up
behind a webpage, so people dont know who to blame... and
what the hell they do while sitting back there..?

yeah, i've noticed....but it's not IE6, just the current
thinking in Internet advertising is that OnPage adverts
don't work that well, and PopUps ensure a far higher click
thru....

Get one of those popup killer programs if it bothers
you....there are quite a few around...

but these pop ups come from me browsing non popup
sites...i've also noticed these little "slide-ups" that
kinda slide up, fom the bottom of my lower right...

you probably have something like GAIN installed
it gets installed with other software
do you read the license agreements when you install stuff?
