Is this true? I am being driven insane by a netflix pop up that keeps showing up... Undertonenetworks.com is the site that is written on top of the window in the center.

2. Do NOT get the damn google toolbar...

Whoever keeps recommending that thing needs to get smacked in the face with a rubber chicken.

The Google toolbar slows your system down to a crawl and is irritating as hell.

5. Have you right clicked and then clicked close?
I've noticed that pop ups are taking longer to close these days. That's probably not covered in the law.

7. Get Netscape. Life will be good again.
Disabling pop-ups is integrated into Netscape, you don't need those stinkin' 3rd party add-ons.

10. Get Opera
You can set it so only popups that you click on will actually appear. This would include things like the DU Smilie lookup box (it's a popup) and Yahoo Address Book!!!
