Full Screen Pop-Ups

[Primeval]

I obviously need to reconfigure my pop-up blocker, but...

I just went to ESPN.com to check some baseball scores, and not only did I get an annoying pop-up - it was frickin\' full-screen! What the....? Anyone else come across this - I had not seen or heard of this before.

So...

..this means you cant use the x to close them right?

Well, of course now when I go back there is no trace of that particular pop-up, but I think it had a \"close\" button that came up - after a few seconds so that you have to see the pop-up whether you like it or not. Time to get a new pop-up blocker if the one I have is letting this stuff through

Ok, two really good options here:
1.) If using Mozilla firefox:
download-
Adblock
and
Googlebar

2.) If using Internet Explorer download-
Google toolbar

My personal advice is to download Mozilla Firefox and use it as your internet browser.
Mozilla Firefox

ALT+F4

Closes the window instantly

Firefox

I\'m downloading firefox right now.

I think from what I have heard and read, Firefox seems to be the better alternative to IE.

I agree that Firefox is much better than IE. Just try it and you will forget about IE very fast I have Firefox for about 3 months and now I cant imagine how I could use IE.

Anone also experienced those pop up that seem to be part of the window you\'re watching ?? Those are a real pain in the a$$ You can\'t close them or watch the page you wanted till it goes away !!
