I have shut down, restarted, rebooted, and redialed the last time due to AW's pop up window ads. The ads are plenty obnoxious as they are let alone locking my computer up. I might check back next fall sometime to see if they are gone.

Get a pop up stopper program. I have one and my computer locks up a lot.
But not because of pop-up ads.

Its pretty nice. Pop up ads are pretty anoying.

Just go to download.com and type up like "pop up stopper" and they will give you a whole aray of programs.

They are mostly shareware but I think there are some freewares.

And good luck to you.
And remember with a little work there is always a solution!

Take a nice slow read of the following thread...

http://www.auctionwatch.com/mesg/read.html?num=2&thread=393513

There are tons of ideas and advice (along with the complaining) to help...

Many of us old-timers who are security nuts have had little trouble...we've been dealing with this stuff for years.

Just a minor inconvenience....

Major faux paux for AW though...

I don't agree that it's a "minor inconvenience". It's a major pain in the butt. Every time I click a page-one pops up. It's bad enough on this message board, but when I'm trying to use post sales and it keeps popping up-that's going too far.

So, AW-what about this once a week bull? If that's true, I guess I just saw my future flash before my eyes and I went ahead about 10 weeks.

I don't care for the pop ups but it is really easy to just click them and exit them. I never have had my computer do anything different because of them.

Hello Everyone,

The Pop Up/Unders are frustrating for all of us and we apologies for the inconvenience.

I'm asking that you post your comments in the Feedback forum in the AuctionWatch Services area of the message center or to the other long thread in this forum, dedicated to this subject.

I'm going to lock this up.

Joice
