try a real browser, that won't stand for such crap.

(apologies and condolences if this is a work machine where you don't have the leeway to choose your preferred browser)

Thank you, Gav, for your helpful and insightful suggestion.

No, really - I truly appreciate Opera's setting that just refuses to open pop-ups.

Sorry, though from your later post, I see you have a far more serious problem than I realised. You seem to be doing a pretty good job of dealing with the stupid fucking etc. Go get 'em.

Seriously, many non-IE browsers do block pop-ups (unless you clicked a link) and also make it much harder for malicious websites to infect you with nasty things like this.
