Yeah, what's up with that? I have a Mac, and can't find any software for pop-up ad blocking... Is ad-blocking only available for Windows machines? Anybody got any ideas? I'd appreciate it if you do...
Must say, though, that the pop-ups seem to have begun just yesterday, and I emailed Jay to ask him what the deal was...
Thanks,
Wendy
