today when I was trying to do some searching, on every screen a pop-up comes up almost instantly, and makes the search results screen go away. All I get is a blank screen with an ad. Anyone else? It's driving me nuts and I'm not even trying to buy anything. I am worried that if this is happening to everyone, how will buyers find things to bid on??

Keziak, what browser are you using?
I was having terrible problems with Netscape 4.77 (intermittent for the last 2 months, and then unbearable this past week). If you're using Netscape, you can go to "Edit-Preferences-Advanced" and disable
JavaScript, and that seems to be a viable workaround. I also downloaded AdSubtract this week (the name of the website is obvious from the name of the product), and have not had a problem with banner ads or pop-ups ever since, even though I turned JavaScript back on.
Hope this helps.
