  Never had the popup ad problem you describe, 
  as it relates to www.geocaching.com or 
  www.geostl.com 
  Accessing pages that are PART OF the www.geostl.com 
  site will not produce popup ads.  However, if you happen 
  to select a URL from one of our pages that links outside 
  of www.geostl.com (click on a link to a cache page from 
  the 'recent logs' page, or a link on the Geo-Links page), 
  you are back at the mercy of the internet. 

  Have you checked your system for SpyWare?

     Has anyone else noticed the pop up ads when logged on to geocaching.com or 
geostl.com? Since SLAGA "recent logs" accesses the GC database of the latest 
logs, I assume that's where the ads are coming from, since it hits the URL. The 
only window I had open in the past 1/2hr was for the SLAGA latest logs and 
there was 2 pop ups (X10 camera and some vitamins). Earlier I had Geocaching 
only open and I had the same ads pop up then.
