For those who prefer less typing, I've added the corrected URL as a link on http://www.noads.org/.Yep, they even have an opt out page. Although I found this from another source and no obvious way to this from the frontend of their site. For what its worth the 'popunders' from x10 are cookie based. The url below will opt you out for 10years (leap years figured also). The week or so after they started these annoying things I noticed that x10 was one of the highest traffic sites (I may be wrong) of the week... I will NEVER buy anything from them... http://www.x10.com/home/optout.cgi?DAY=3652GE=http://www.x10.com/x10ads1.htm http://www.x10.com/home/optout.cgi?DAY=3652&PAGE=http://www.x10.com/x10ads1.htm After receiving the page from X10 informed you that ads have been blocks for 30 days (wink, wink), close your brower and look in your cookies.txt file (for Netscape, don't know about IE). You should see a line from X10 that includes "x10removeads.dat". jas
