@me: "No Popup Stopper works on weather.com
I have tried numerous stoppers.  Most work well on other websites, but
not on weather.com
Why are the popups on there different?
Anyone know ?
Thanks
Me"

You can't use a hosts file to do this.  Try the http proxy below. It's free,
and
let's you use use reular expressions to block various urls.  The default
setting
will block the above pages.
            <url>
It also let's you look at the http traffic to see what requests are
made/blocked or modified, i.e. various outgoing http-tags in a request are
blocked.

the popups now.  So, I never see the ads.  However, I still get the
damn popups occuring.

This is Windows (98SE) and IE 5.5.
I have EMS Free Surfer (latest version).
It works great, and blocks 99.9% of popups.
But somehow, it will not block the ones on weather.com, and neither
has any other stopper I have ever used."

I said earlier in this thread that I have already done that.  Now, the
popups come up as error websites.  In other words, the popups still
pop, but they contain no content other than the "website not found
error".  It's better than nothing, but I still hate having to close
them damn pop windows everytime I get a weather report, which means
pretty much all the time, since I watch the weather daily.  "
