If you get those pain in the back side pop-up ads while your on the internet, its because your messenger is transmitting out info about your PC

Yay!! Thank you! I knew there had to be a fix one could do.. but was unsure where to go!
I've set it.. hopefully the data mining zone will still work..
I found that the zone puts two new data mining cookies every time you enter!
It seems to do it when the zon-friends window pops up.

Okies now I'm confussed...AGAIN
I have done this and don't get the messenger ones up any longer..what I do get are the ones that say "Microsoft Internet Explorer" (at the top of the ad in the blue area)
I can't get rid of those...
Any suggestions? Thanks

Hmmm I think I have tried that one and one other. And it didn't work..in fact what it did do was this.
1. I recieve this post in my e-mail when someone replys
2. I click on the link in my e-mail that takes me to the reply
3. The pop up thingie won't let me because the stupid thing thinks the link is a pop up. Doh...

For the Pop Up Dummy (which I use) you need to CTRL-Left click to make something popup. Or you can set it so certain sites are always allowed pop-ups. Like Lastdynasty.net or something.
Give that a try and see if it works.
