Maclean, you can get the browser /IE-add-on called Avant. (http://www.avantbrowser.com) free browser, which more or less runs on top of IE. It has a BRILLIANT pop-up killer AND a possibility to remove all flash content by the press of a button (and also switch it on just as easy, shoul it be needed) Did I mention FREE? It's also faster than the raw IE.
