Does anyone else get a lot of...

[Pin Wizard]

annoying pop-up windows? I never got them on my old computer when I had AOL 6.0. Now with my computer I got last summer and AOL 7.0, I get them constantly. It's really annoying!

Pop-ups were getting out of hand, so I downloaded a free pop-up stopper that works great. Now I just hear a thump when it stops an ad.

Yep, that's what I did too. Only I hear a chime when they go. LOL

Great program, IMO.

no popups here..

I actually had a popup ad for a popup stopper yesterday!

Not too many Pin Wizard. I usually only get them when I go to commercial sites. Or sites that are supported by sponsors that have pop-up windows - like the Weather Channel site.

Thanks, everyone! And thanks for that link, Dan! Hopefully, I won't be getting anymore pop-up windows in the middle of my online Algebra tests.

None here!!

What's ICQ? I recently heard about IM from a friend. She turned hers off because of them.

I've got ICQ lite and I don't get the pop ups.

I don't get pop up ads. Maybe it's AOL that's doing it to you, Sandy (I can't stand AOL).

ICQ is an IM. I love it.

A bit more robust instant messenger than the popular AOL IM. It is owned by AOL also. It is good.

I only get one or two every now and then now.

I got rid out my Hot Bar on Outlook Express, while I had that, I was getting pop up ads all the time, I got rid of that real fast!!!

Thanks, Shannon! When I click on that link above, Dan, I get a box on my screen telling me that Panicware blocked a pop-up! I can't go to that site. Interesting.
