Goto pcmag.com and download CookieCop 2. It will block java script pop-ups (aka 99.998% of all pop-ups). You can ask it to block them all outright, or ask you want it appear. I have it ask, it's only a little dialog box in the middle of the screen that tells you the address it came from and all. I get dozens of requests in Apolyton... and I saw NO to all.

I just got a pop-up that came up "Web Page Cannot Be Displayed".
And it was just as annoying as the rest.Comment

If you have a default style and get the US ads(click here to find out) you should change to a special or ultra special style in order to avoid them

Bleah, I haven't had to suffer at all because of not using MSIE or by allowing the use unrequested pop-up windows.
As I stated before, I recommend Mozilla 1.2.1 (sidenote: released 2 days ago) as it includes a built-in pop-up killer, plus it allows many other security restrictions too. And yes, I'm using the default style and I don't get any pop-ups or annoying ads that want to download unwanted software as I'm using Mozilla.

Marko, this is not a US ad AFAIK. It's more like a German(?) one. I get the same one as Borc's screenshot. I am kind of scared of these since I surf from work and home and both can becharged lots of €€€ if I am not careful.
Is this deliberate? Or is something else going on?

... and another one when i posted the previous message - rather nastily it had a system bar with close button actually just inside the pop-up which - had i clicked it by mistake would have activated the damn thing.
This is NOT funny.

Let me make this clear, I do not mind pop ups! No matter how many there are (this site has to be financed) but with these dialers it can be really dangerous. Especially for people that are not careful. It can cost lots of dough!

SG[1]: When you click on links that point to another site than Poly, you get automatically a popup ad. It's not Borc's fault, I guess.
Pioneer: Face it, nobody really cares about it. They aren't vulnerable, only Germans are and only if they still use a modem. The popup screams "go get DSL". Why should the rest of the World give a damn, that some German modem user, who was naive enough once to click the wrong button, faces a $1000 phone bill next month? Ah well, if somebody passes the Poly URL to a Customer protection agency for this, Poly may end up on a blacklist. Dialer popups still are illegal here.Comment

Popup stoppers, what a useful tool..."Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt WhitmanComment

If you use a pop up stopper doesn't that prevent Poly from getting it money for their advertisement?
