Ad popups

OK, I read the LA Times online and they have started to use these Macromedia Flash ads which cover virtually the entire page. These Flash adds apprear as if they are embedded in the page, so the traditional popup killers don't seem to work. Is there any way to disable this without turning of Flash? It's really annoying. checkout http://www.latimes.com/business/

Read the paper version... or another paper. People who resort to this kind of advertising don't get my business. Not just for now, forever - I have a long memory.

Haven't tried zone alarm but will give it a try. It can even block Flash ads. Curious, do you know how they do that? Anyway, thanks for the suggestion.
Pretty simple, the ad blocker runs as a proxy so it gets to see the HTML before the browser does. It then looks at img/a/object/embed tags and if the href/src string matches a pattern, the proxy removes the tag from the HTML. Voilà! --Mike-- Buy me stuff! (Link fixed now) Like the Google toolbar?

Advertising methods these days seem to have the mentality of a 6 year old trying to get little Suzy to like him by annoying her to the point of exasperation, and then when she gets mad and shoves him in a puddle, he swoons, "Wow! She noticed me!" X| Why not throw away a dime? I throw away ten pennies all the time.
