Yahoo Pop-Up Ads/Panicware

2001-11-07 by Mark Tucker

If, like me, you read this list on the web, you've probably seen 
Yahoo's disgusting practice of opening new pop-up windows 
when viewing this board. They show up underneath the main 
browser window.

There is supposedly software, only for Windows, that 
automaticlally closes these annoying windows. I'm on a Mac, so 
I'm still in my own private Hell, but if you're on a PC, you might 
look into this. I have no idea if it works. I also think it's optimized 
for IE instead of Netscape.
