It's actually quite humorous seeing browser windows disguised to look like something the OS put there from a mac.

"AHH, help, it's installing windows!"

Popup windows are the 2003 remake of Atari's Missile Command.

I love getting those type of pop up ads, considering that i dont run windows its pretty damn funny. The ones that say 'you are broadcasting an ip address' are pretty funny too. But most of the time I just leave popup blocking on. I found a site that wont let you in if you have mozilla's popup blocking on though :( Don't remember the address.

Yeah, those websites use something called anti-leech - really retarded - they think that anyone who blocks pop-ups shouldn't be allowed to their site
