No pop-ups or ads when I try that site with Internet Explorer. I use an ad
blocker program 'Super Ad Blocker' that so far has blocked all inserted ads
(pop-ups, banners, animation.) Not only does it block ads, it prevents the
ad content from downloading, and thus some pages download quite a bit
faster. A 30 trial is free, after that the cost is $30. It is at least
worth a trial to see what surfing could be like.
