Hi Guys.

What is it that causes pages to load without me clicking the mouse.

Just lately, certain advert banners jump to life as soon as I pass over them -Sky being one of the offenders.

BL00DY annoying, I thik you'll agree. trouble is, I cant find out how to turn this off.

Any suggestions?

    Are you able to share the website(s) you're experiencing these problems at? Perhaps we can have a look for ourselves & see if it happens to us too. Did you know there are certain browsers which will let you turn off ads/banners/similar - Firefox, Opera & Avant Brower are the ones I know that do. G

    Which browser are you using?

    No problem here - tried it with IE7 & Avant. Have popup-blocker in IE & ad-blocking in Avant enabled (cannot even see the ad in the latter), & I use Google Toolbar which has it's own popup-blocker. G

    If I turn pop-up blocker to high then It comes up with a message each time.

    On high it asks before allowing me to even view that page.

    On Medium it allows me to view page but pop-up still acts as if I had clicked on it.

    Can this be stopped?

    I am Using IE BTW, Mozilla takes longer to load and longer to load pages and is rather jerky on my machine. (6Mths old 2Gig Dell.?)
