With a hosts file you rarely ever get them. Sorry, but I don't feel your pain.

well- you may have your messenger setting enabled (i cant remember exactly, i dont think everyone has it) popups come. but its possible your seeing more popups than what come with the site you look at. im sure theres someone else on here that can explain this in terms other people can actually comprehend.

Change your browser to Mozilla Firefox. I don't get any pop-ups at all, and I'm connected to the Internet all the time.

Yes, Popups should be outlawed. They are not an effective means of advertisement because no one ever reads them (or waits for them to load) before closing them, and half the Popup adds on the internet are adds for anti popup software!! WTF?!?! They are harassment and only exist to annoy. My computer has been raped by spyware and adware and all i can say to you to help prevent you from my fate is not to use internet explorer, its a freaking portal for that stuff. Use another browser such as Mozilla Firefox or something....
