John,

Thanks for the reply. I'm thinking I've picked up a bug - see below.

Not happening to me, but you could add adgardner.com to your hosts file with
a 127.0.0.1 address.  It probably wouldn't stop the popups but they would at
least be empty.

Did that, but it still tries to launch the window.

Check FF for any undesired add-ons.

Run a full AV scan, not just anti-ad/spyware.  Try yours or a free scan from
Housecall: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

When I click 'start scan' it just hangs.

Run the Secunia Software Inspector to look for missing updates:
http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/online/

it won't load the java applet. Says I'm not up to date with java, but I am.

Sounds like whatever bug I've got is blocking these sites.

I've got some work to do. Thanks again,

This thread ...
