Go.com have a pop-up ad where the window starts moving once it has download so you can't click the X to kill the browser window until it has finished its track.
Very Very annoying!!

I got this same popup on another big search site and I'm trying to remember which one it was. Maybe it was Overture, can't remember. But I know what you mean. What a pain!!

They should stop covering content with ads. I have seen slide in windows and layers that cover content on a lot of big sites. To me its just spam.

Why don't you give Opera a try?

Done : you will never see a pop up of any kind again...

Ive seen the ones you are talking about as a matter of fact I had one last night. I had one here awhile back that had a car driving across the screen it was cool but annoying as it blocked the content!

i don't like the idea of blocking ads generally. most of these techniques assume that any javascript:window.open..., onLoad/onUnload event is a popup/popunder etc however, alt+F4 does it for me, too
