I have software that stops those pop-up adds as well as separating the SPAM from wanted mail. OK it's not 100% and I still get some SPAM but not nearly as much as I used to. As for pop-up ads, I have not seen one since I installed it. You can have a trial download, which I originally did and then purchased it. Being a List owner I follow the rules and do not promote commercial sites freely. If anyone is interested please email me off line. Marie
