    Now thats logic.

    Rather than prevention. Cure.
    Your logic is wrong.
    If adware gets on my machine, I want to see any pop ups it will make so I know that adware somehow got there. I don't want a popup blocker hiding any symptoms of an infection. I don't consider a pop up blocker an answer to adware pop ups, it simply hides the symptoms.

    As for prevention- Yes, I do have my security settings enabled and configured, thank you very much.

    edit: how weird.... I got a new IP from my isp, and now I can get to AO just fine.

    I got it again today as well. I've heard something about JupMedia doing a survey? Perhaps if they could let us know what's going on, it might relieve some of the concerns that members have.

    I vote with Soda "Stop Popup" We are on strike

    (Soda pls take lead on our protest to receive most of the bullets) :P

    IMHO those popups are annoying. Or even pointless, since that "valuable" member just block/close the ad. Perhaps Jupm can use another way to do it less annoying
