Interfering advert pop up
Hi all. I am the only one who keeps getting a full page advert - not even a pop up advert - from Wanandoo filling the screen without clicking on the advert?
I'm getting really fed up with this. I Wanadont thank you very much.
I appreciate the requirement for commercial adverts - wouldn't have the facility without their prescence, but this is intrusive and as it is a full screen really hacks me off.

I have sometimes scrolled the wheel on my mouse, only to find the page won't move, so I click at the side of the page in what I think is a blank area to get the scroll wheel to become active. I have often found an advert pops up then. You can see the limits of the hotspots if you carefully move the mouse around and note where the icon changes from a pointer to a hand.
If I was cynical, I might even imagine this was a deliberate ploy to increse advertising revenue from all these inadvertent clicks.
