Capt Pprune,
I’m running a program called AdSubtract Pro, in the 10 minutes since I read your message, this program shows that I have blocked 9 Ads and 9 Pop-Ups from Pprune.Org, together with 10 cookies from valueclick.com.
I haven’t actually seen the pop-ups as this program filters them out, but I’m using a Middle Eastern ISP, WinXP, IE6.0 and only have Pprune opened.
Hope that this helps.
Mutt.
