Get your GD MFing popups out of my face!!!!
 
I don't mind banner ads, and I frankly don't even care about spyware, but I _HATE_ popups ads. Everyone who uses them should have the sh!# kicked out of them. I refuse to pay for this damn thing on principle because I believe that anyone who uses popups doesn't deserve one damn penny of my money. You people (limewire programmers) should be ashamed of yourselves for stooping so low!

Do I sound peeved? Good, because I am, thanks to you. I just had to close three of your GD popups in the last five minutes.

yay !!! - someone else who dosn't mind banner ads - they've never bothered me and especially in terms of players I've always thought the banner ads that came with the jet audio player were a fair trade given how good it is and how many crappy players are around - and yes - with the exception of the kazaa version which is a whole different ball game the spyware has never bothered me too much either but 'pop ups' ?? - with limewire??? - what version are you using

one last thing - with both jet audio and LW the banner ads almost never work for me anyway so that I've never even seriously contemplated using ad aware to remove them - but - if you're so bothered about the pop ups (with morpheus?) you can always download software to get rid of them (just do a google search)

cheers, bad_vlad

The removal of 'banner ads' is in fact not the true purpose of Ad-Aware.
For your own benefit, I suggest that you read more carefully the documentation regarding Ad-Aware.
