After a stretch where the older version was not updated as work progressed on the update, the Lavasoft Website now carries a new version 6 of Ad Aware (thanks MajorGeeks). The new version of what's become an indispensable internet utility (which finds and eliminates spyware and scumware) could not come at a better time for me, as I have recently been afflicted by a bout of self-spawning pop-ups... I can only hope the 40-some suspicious items it found on my computer included the source of this bother so it can be eliminated. Yeesh.

If you want to never se another pop-up again just start using Mozilla as your web browser and then you can select whether or not you want to allow scripts to:

Open unrequested windows (Pop up Ads)
Move or resize existing windows (no more sites that force fullscreen)
Raise or lower windows
Hide the status bar
Change status bar text
Change images
Create or change cookies
Read cookies

After using Mozilla for a long time I can't stand IE anymore.
