Hey Y'all,
I highly recommend installing the new Google Toolbar 2.0 or another pop-up blocker on your computer. Google has a great pop-up blocker. Just beware not to install the version with the page rating feature.....it will track all of your surfing then.
Here is a review:
Make your Web travels more productive with this final 2.0 version of the Google Toolbar. This release retains all the winning features of previous versions and offers new ones that make it a must-have accessory for Internet Explorer.
In a nutshell, placing a Google search box directly into your browser makes it easier to find what you want because you can access Google features from any Web page. The toolbar offers a highly effective pop-up blocker, a nifty News button, a simple forms filler that automatically fills out Web forms with information stored locally, and more customization options. You can also now automatically create a Web log (blog) post pointing to the Web page you're visiting. Of course, the BlogThis! feature only works if you have an account on Google-owned Blogger.com.
Note that using advanced features such as PageRank automatically sends the URLs of the site you are viewing back to Google's servers. The PageRank feature is optional, and you can enable or disable it at any time through the toolbar's Options button. But if you are concerned about privacy, Google gives you the option of downloading a version that does not report back.
