    Some of the popups are trojans according to the antivirus software warnings I get.

    Just use FireFox, you get no pop-ups at all. And combined with Norton Internet Security you'll never see another pop up again at any site.

    I really don't think that my browser is the problem. It's the site. loading pages is sooo slow I sit on a 24Mb pipeline and it takes up to a minute sometimes to load a page

    I use Firefox, and I also use a lovely seconday script-blocking program called Spywareblaster. Despite these prophylactics, I get pop-ups in the Org from time to time. Quite irritating.

    They do randomly pop up sometimes, somehow. Quite annoying. The most I've ever had was in the middle of an arcade game, when a whole horde of around four pop-ups attacked. Luckily, it was a clicking game, so I was back on the correct window quite quickly.

    Spywareblaster is superb.

    You could also try Adaware and Spybot S&D in conjunction with Spywareblaster and Firefox.

    AVG is a good free anti-virus program.

    If this hadn't been mentioned, I'd have no idea there were popups here. I don't even have a pop-up blocker.

    Yea, this is quite annoying. I keep getting a pop-up for some freemoney thing everytime a move around on the site. I have MSN and went into the pop up blocker thing and clicked block all, but still the same pop up pops up at everything i go to on this site and this is the only site that it happens to me on.
