I have a question for XP users with cable/DSL/T1, etc. who leave their systems running. I just upgraded a few months ago. This never happened to me before on previous operating systems but, now I get these strange little pop-up ads every so often that appear to be a result of microsoft scripting or something (i.e. not an explorer window). This happens when my system is idle, nothing running. Does this happen to everyone? Is there a way to turn this off? I don't like the idea that Microsoft has built on pop-up support if that is what this is. Evo
