usatoday popups

[Judy]

What is with these new popups from usatoday.com?
Latest one is from questionmarket.com and has "take the
survey" button in lower right corner. Also "Enter to win
$100 --- 1 in 100 wins!" So if I get this 100 times I
will win $100?

I have ad-aware and spybot installed and still these
popup only once. This one appeared when i viewed article
on usatoday site and pressed the back arrow. There are
no properties file on this popup ad so can not add to ad-
aware options.

You should probably send an email to the USA Today webmaster and
complain. It is their choice to use these ads and if they think enough
people hate them, they may change their evil ways. There's really
nothing you can do about it except either 1) use a browser that gives
you complete control over popups, like Mozilla; 2) don't go to
usatoday.com; 3) if you want to use Internet Explorer, install the
Google Toolbar which is incredibly useful and also has a popup killer.
