I had the same hair pulling frustration with that damn foxtel one. I think the reason it stays down on this machine is the crap processor i am using while the mac is in the shop.

I agree, they're very annoying especially when they won't go away.

Eventually the advertisers will get the message that annoying adverts don't sell anything... especially if they're chewing up bandwidth and processor just to be even more annoying.

I'm running opera so I don't know if that makes a difference. The vodaphone does close. I'll try the foxtel one and see what happens.

I'm not against the ads. I realise they provide income to the site. I just don't like it when things try to 'take over' my computer

yeah i agree with what you are saying there aswell

Firefox and No-Script

(you can set it to block particular things and leave others run, eg i have quantserve, cdn layer, google analytics, google ad services all blocked but AULRO, doubleclick and google syndication free to run.......

Daves probably going to shoot me now.......)

Fire Fox & Adblock
But don't tell any one as Advertising pays for this site.

The Vodaphone one is the worst. It won't go away until it's finished its spiel.
