Is anyone else getting as annoyed as I am at that 'OFF' advertisement at the top of the page that loads even when you don't click on it? Not thrilled that 'doubleclick' advertising has a foothold here - working with computers again everyday as my job I can only begin to tell you what doubleclick ads bring to the thousands of customers that call us each day....arggghhhh

If you use Firefox Browser (which you should be using - Internet Explorer is rife with security holes) http://www.mozilla.com you can use an add-on called AdBlock that will keep those ads from coming up, Works great!

You can also disable pop-ups on your browser by going into the Options or Tools menu.
