Special thanks to popBusters for sending this tip in to us.
If you want to REALLY eliminate Popup Ads, for Popup Exhange, you will have to use software (like KillAd) on our Popup Killers page.
We don't have an HTML solution yet. If you know of or have written a solution - please let me know. Here is the way to get rid of them:
DON'T SIGNUP FOR THEIR SERVICE!!!
Anyone who is, tell them to not use them, and hopefully, Pop-Up Exchange will GO AWAY!!. I might also add - that anyone who is STUPID enough to sign-up with them should be shot!
If the information below is helpful to you - please do whatever you feel is necessary to stop Popup Advertising.
Although I cannot personally be held responsible for any actions that you as an individual may take,
just remember - I support you in stopping the spread of Popup Advertising across the Internet.
Solidarity!

Know your enemy! Here is what their Popup Code Looks Like:
<script language="javascript">
<!--
function PopupExchange() {
var popupURL = "http://popupexchange.com/ban-cgi/bandb/468x60/MC/1/1549.htm";
var notAOL = !(navigator.appVersion.substring(28,31) == "AOL");
var notWebTV = !(navigator.appVersion.substring(5,10) == "WebTV");
var four_point_o = (parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4);
if (((four_point_o) || (window.blur && window.focus)) && (notAOL)) {
focusIt = 1 } else { focusIt = 0; }
if (notWebTV) {
newpopup=window.open(popupURL,"1549p1468x60",'location=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=0,width=550,height=80,left=0,top=0');
}
if (focusIt) { this.focus(); }
}
function openPopup() { if (!getCookie("1549p1468x60")) { PopupExchange();
setCookie("1549p1468x60", "visited"); } }
function setCookie() { }
function getCookie() { }
window.onload = openPopup;

Here are some comments from their Web site. I'm sure you will agree these guys just suck! There is no
way around it - they really are a menace to society. We need to drive these people out of business for good.
If I EVER find any of you putting these things on your site I will give your a SERIOUS tongue-lashing, ultra-intense
piece of flame mail. Then, I'll get the rest of the Net to come after you!!!
These are ACTUAL QUOTES (I didn't make any of this stuff up!)
I really, REALLY hate this whole concept.

"Talking Pop-up Internet Commercials are a fantastic new way to drive
large amounts of traffic to your web site. You will be displaying
Pop-ups, either Conventional Banners or our New Larger
Window version for members of the network on your web site, and
they in turn will display Pop-ups for your web site."
"These advertisements pop-up right in your potential customer's face
and cannot be overlooked or missed. They either have to be clicked
on or closed. Either way some type of immediate action has to be
taken."
"The future is here with Interactive Talking Pop-ups that your visitors
will love to see and hear."
"In fact, we have even created the World's 1st Talking Pop-ups that
actually speak to your potential customer's by giving them enticing
invitations such as:"
- "Don't miss this incredible offer, click here for complete details."
- "To find out more about this amazing offer, simply click here."
- "Click on me to find out more", etc.
With this New Talking Technology and our window type Pop-ups that
are an incredible 60% larger than conventional banners, your
click-through rate can't help but skyrocket.
