    I used to think pop ups where bad but at least they could be closed straight away , have you seen some of the flash adds that are around lately ?

    ww.skynews.co.uk for instance has BT Broadband adds featuring a Rhino running at the screen , which takes over everything and wont let you close it till after he is finished

    ww.oceanfree.net they have had a honda add on it for a while now that i cant close , i have to refresh the page a few times and hope it dosnt appear

    Anyone seen any other bad ones ?

    The nitrous exitfuel one that pops up alot and sometimes jams the screen.God knows what it even is-I always click away in time not to have to see.
    The"Join the online casino and get $500 free bet"that always pops up when i go online(i think its sent by my download accelerator.
    If i had a credit card id join just to get it to piss off.

    The Regaine ads (which seem to be everywhere) are a horrible reminder of the future.

    there is one for red dragon ive seen a few times. there is a normal banner type one that but its a flash one that spawns other images over the screen that have a terrible sound and cant be closed. they dissapear after a while but almost as soon as one finishes another one starts up. very obtrusive and bloody annoying

    anything to do with Gain or Gator or whatever you call thouse a$$hole adware devices... the ad's that have nothing to do with what you're browsing.

    Although I dont think any of the adware installed on my PC knows about Opera; just another reason why it's the best browser on earth.
