Hi Mike, Thanks for the reply. I usually surf with all java turned off, this seems to stop pop-ups. When researching cars, I had to turn on java to get some pages to load, all the pages I saw had to do with cars, there were no pages that only had to do with ads, interest, insurance etc., This is my first time to use I E Explorer, just getting used to it. BTW, My newer computer broke. When I get it fixed, I will be back to using Mandrake, Was using Mandrake 8.1, Anyone have any comments about 8.1, 8.2, 9.0, 9.1??? I usually only use the computer for plain text mail, listen to 1 radio show, and do research when I want to learn about a something. Thanks again, gimpy > Hi Gimpy, > as it is showing in your history I suspect it may have opened. > Do you have any kind of pop-up blocking or a modified "Host > file" bo block > the ads? > > Mike For a web-based membership management utility and information on list policies, please see http://nibec.com/24hoursupport/ To unsubscribe, send a blank email to 24hoursupport-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe" (without quotes) in the subject.
