What is in some threads like this one; FS: AXP 1800+@2.3Ghz, Shuttle AN35N, Gainward, Audigy, Geil, Corsair that activates my popup blocker and closes the browser window?

    It didn't give me any popups... Have you scanned your computer using AdAware or Spybot?

    t1rhino,
    I have AdAware 6.0 Plus, scan once or twice a week and haven't had anything for months. Also have Ad Watch monitoring with highest settings constanly. I am a security freak and have a good hardware firewall in addition to Norton's Personal Firewall and have both tweaked pretty good.

    Shorty,

    I have IE6 with all the latest MS DL's and have Ad Watch 3.0 and the popup blocker in Tweak XP enabled. It is the one in Tweak XP that goes off.
