O.P. Pop-ups?
I don't know why but with sites like http://mess.be and with a few others even when you use firefox or IE6 SP2 for some reason I'm still getting pop-ups :(

RE: Pop-ups?
Not much you can do about Pop-Ups cos even if you get a great pop up blocker, some still get through, when i go to Mess.be SP2 blocks the pop up, are your pop up settings set correctly on XP?

I doubt it's a spyware issue, as I occasionally get Mess.be popups. It's just the way they do it.

It's not a spyware issue, as said above, because a lot of websites have pop-ups, and even the best pop-up blockers can't really block them that well. It's not really a problem that you can fix in anyway. And if it's only on one website you visit reguarly, then it shouldn't be too much of a bother. :p

RE: Pop-ups?
its all about how the window is launched...

popup blockers work by defusing the javascript as javascript is client side :)

normal popups work with something like :
code:
window.open


mess.be (FASTCLICK.COM to be more percise) combats popup blockers by insted of plain javascript it writes the popup to auto load with the document :)

code:
<script language="javascript"><!--
var dc=document; var date_ob=new Date();
dc.cookie='h2=o; path=/;';var bust=date_ob.getSeconds();
if(dc.cookie.indexOf('e=llo') <= 0 && dc.cookie.indexOf('2=o') > 0){
dc.write('<scr'+'ipt language="javascript" src="http://media.fastclick.net');
dc.write('/w/pop.cgi?sid=6164&m=2&v=1.8&c='+bust+'"></scr'+'ipt>');
date_ob.setTime(date_ob.getTime()+43200000);
dc.cookie='he=llo; path=/; expires='+ date_ob.toGMTString();} // -->
</script>


:) oh yeh, it also sets a cookie per day so u dont get it everytime you visit the site :P
