I get them all the time when logged on to BE at work, but never seen one on this PC. They are VERY annoying and you can´t seem to shut them off.

Try this Keith, this may be why I don't see them. It's free and works on most of those annoying ads..

The link says it´s for blocking pop-ups. These ads aren´t pop-ups, they are just there at the top and and the side of the page. Do you not see any ads at all? even the non fluorescent ones?

Can anyone throw any light as to why we are getting different results?
