lo bl@ I have the same on a regular Win system. Bin there for the last week or so - and pops up - just about every time you shift the page.
Very annoying for sure :)

I tried both with' and without' Adds - makes no difference !

Adblock Plus is your friend - I couldn't live without it - also get the Element Hiding Helper for ABP while you're at it, lets you select certain recurring elements of a page, like where a image of an ad (not an actual ad with a URL) repeatedly shows up, and block those permanently too.

BTW, was almost jumping for joy yesterday - nearly killed myself getting the new washer motor speed controller in place, hardest job I've done it years (will need a couple week of PT to recover from the contorted positions I had to twist my body into to reach everything, back, hips, and neck so stiff it's not funny, they frigging HURT). After buttoning everything back up, ran a test cycle, drum appeared to spin fine - Yay! But nope - washed a load of laundry and the damn thing still won't go into the final spin cycle, it agitates but won't do a high speed spin. Ordered the last possible replacement part today, the main control board (used from Ebay), if that doesn't work I'm done with it and will have to fork over the money for a new set.

I DID actually jump with joy to see a very nice gain in my stock accounts today - AMRN up bigly by dollar gains, DOW up +1300 pts - but I'm still not jumping into my want to buy list yet, this could be a dead cat bounce. While I don't agree with Kiwi's warnings of global economic devastation, I'm still going to be conservative here and wait to see what happens.



P.S. My friend sells decks for a living - he quoted me $15k for a new 10 x 20 deck using Trex (they don't do wood) - I laughed at him, that's just insane, Trex is 3x the price of pressure treated lumber, and I can't stand plastic/vinyl decks/fences anyway, I'm an all wood guy through and through. Yes, the framing is all in perfect shape, hidden from the sun, just as good as new, as are the vertical posts. That's why I said "no way are you starting from scratch" to him - what a waste of money - but he said it's cheaper for them to raze the structure than try to save parts of it, they can destroy it in a couple hours, might take over a day to partially disassemble it, plus they have the 25 yr new deck warranty problem if they don't build from scratch.
