I can't get rid of these darn popups, i've installed adaware but it doesn't seem to help.

Ad Muncher will help.

The built-in pop-up blocker found in IE 6 and Firefox 1.0 PR is very effective. Try it first before you fork over $ for Ad Muncher.

Hey a_gellman,

What type of pop-ups are you speaking of....Messenger pop-ups, browser pop-ups as you surf....etc ?
