If you disable javascript in your browser, you will not have any pop-ups. In fact, had I not read everyone's complaints about the numerous pop-ups, I would never have known they existed.

How to disable javascript in Internet Explorer 5.5:
1. Open the internet options menu
......click "Tools" then "Internet Options..."
2. Select the "Security" tab then click on "Custom Level..."
3. Now scroll down near the very bottom of the list until you see "Scripting" "Active Scripting" and choose "disable".

Voila! No more annoying pop-ups.
