    Default Software Recommendation Wanted

    Is there a program I can get for free which stops loads of ad windows from opening when I visit blog websites?

    Si.

    Firefox with the ad-block extension stops ads on most sites I go to. It's very rare I get any pop ups at all.

    Give me an example of a blog with lots of ads and I'll see what happens.
    Dennis, Francois, Melba and Smasher are competing to see who can wine and dine Lola Whitecastle and win the contract to write her memoirs. Can Dennis learn how to be charming? Can Francois concentrate on anything else when food is on the table? Will Smasher keep his temper under control?

    If only the 28th century didn't keep popping up to get in Dennis's way...

    Or simply don't use IE. Opera is generally very good at that sort of thing, Firefox works well too. Make the switch! Chrome is even worth a try.
    Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

    I haven't used IE for a while. And thanks Lissa, the Ad Blocker add-on is working a treat!
