As if popups weren't annoying enough, I got a popup blocker but that just doesn't do it...

Now I seem to be coming across Ads that blast your computer with sound, and even worse, Ads that pop up with a message that says.. "You can close this ad in 10 seconds."


How intrusive can you get?

I got one that spilled juice all over my screen, then some little maid looking person said she'd clean it for 1.99.

You still get pop-ups with ADP? I haven't seen an ad or pop up since I've installed it.

adds can be extremely annoying, but heres something to keep in mind, there are a finite number of add companies, and as such, depending on what browser your using, installing addblock plus and noscript plus occasionally allowing popular well known sites and forbidding add sites should make your browsing experience a lot better

If you use firefox use NoScript, it blocks ads all the time for me.

If your on firefox, just go to their webpage, click addons and search for adblock plus. If your not using firefox, you're doing it wrong :P

I actually find myself closing gamespot prematurely after trying to watch a couple videos only to be bombed with the same loud ad twice in a row for a game that I am in no way interested in. At least figure out what games I like instead of blasting me with some gears of **** console crap! STFU the ads g-money, **** money grubbing FUCFCK
