New annoying pop-up ads..

Since I only use the google pop-up blocker + sp2 one, some larger sites (like espn.com, cnn, etc) have a new annoying "full screen" ad now that is annoying as hell.

nope, that was in one of the harris "random programs we have approved for you to install" network popups which is how they distribute programs to people. ie - I needed viso to open a file, requested visio, and 2 days later had a windows popup that i could select visio to install.

Then request firefox and in two days you'll have a pop-up to install it. They should want you to install it since there are so many fewer attacks against it.
