Pop up

I have Moz. 1.6 with the pop-up blocker active. One site (Drudge report) leaves a pop-up that becomes visible when I either minimise the screen or quite the browser. Any thoughts on how to eliminate this?

Upgrade to Firefox? I was using Mozilla 1.6 until the latest Firefox was released and any popups that started to showup on Mozilla don't show up on Firefox....yet.

Note to Avder: 99% of the web will be broken for you. If you are *that* paranoid, then unplug your PC and put it in a closet, with a sheet over it, then you'll be safe.

Funnily, I'vbe just spent a week coding a "leaving the site" pop-up. It's not easy either, to do in an elegant way. In fact, it's a giant wank, and I hope I never get asked to do it again! ACK.
