I am same with you there... Pop-ups are awful - these little, tiny... windows... But sometimes they are useful(one big "sometimes")...

I hate popups but to be honest there a great way of advertising, when you get one it's the first thing you see! Popunders and banners are even worse because you harder to get rid of them. I have a ad, popup and popunder blcoker and I'm using it right now
 Trouble is, if you don't have a blocker you can't get by the ultimate popup as I heard someone call it. When the viewer closes the window, it re-opens the same one. That's evil, I'll never do that. I'm half and half really. |

I really hate pop-up adds. Everytime one pops up, I end up adding a virus to my computer. Some pop-up adds are really annoying because, if they won't stop poping up on the middle of your computer screen. Some really scare me. An example was when I was searching around the web for information this add that was about, Win a Million dollars kept poping-up, it was so annoying. I ended up having to reboot my computer because the add would not stop poping-up. I found out later that i gained alomst 10 viruses from the add. So pop-up adds to me are really annoying when you are trying to get something done or, when your computer get's viruses from pop-up adds. So, overall I hate pop-up adds. I don't know about any of you.

I think they're a bad way of advertising. When a pop-up appears, people get so annoyed by it that they don't even read it. Now there even are navegation bars that block pop-ups, Windows XP offers to do the same thing. I think banners are better.

Of course pop-ups are bad but so is TV advertising or any other form of advertising. For example, any TV station (excluding HBO because you have to pay for it) lives out from their comercials. You won't see a good movie without comercials... Why? Because the TV station has to buy that movie and the only way they can get the money back is to insert comercials into the movie.
The same thing happens with a website. The webmaster has to live somehow...I'd be more then happy to see a free software download website with pop-ups then a paid software website without pop-ups. So as long as the popups are not really very anoying I can live with them but when they start to load 2 or 3 at the same time.... |

Well... I donīt like popups... ok, in fac, I HATE popups but like someone said I suppose they are necessary if we want some contents on the Internet, especially professional contents. They are annoying, yes, and a time ago the were really one of the Internetīs cancers, but since pop-ups blockers have been released I donīt care about them. I use Mozilla Firefox so, I forgot about pop-ups several months ago, you should do the same and for sure that most of you already do
