When I post a comment on this site it appears with an advertisement flashing underneath it - is this some sort of permission that I have inadvertently given? How do I get rid of it?

you don't. advertising keeps this site free, so leave it there.

You get paid $2.99 each time for that.

There are no pop-up flashing ads on KB. You PC is probably infected with adware.

People who use Internet Explorer on their personal computers intrigue me. The only useful purpose IE serves is to download Firefox or Chrome. Then delete it. I can't remember the last time I saw an advertisement on the Internet.

Easier said than done... IE doesn't leave when you ask nicely... or forcefully.

Just imagine how much easier and simpler your life would be with either Firefox or Chrome running Adblock Plus.

Yeah, I don't understand the loyalty to Chrome, it just annoys me. FireFox 4 is the shiz.

Firefox 4 has been built to behave as Chrome has done for a while (location of tabs, performance of the go-back button, to name a couple of features). I use Firefox 4 at home and Chrome at work.

I particularly like the way Chrome allows you to synch your brower set up so it's the same everywhere you use it. Its integration with other Google-based applications is nice.

Yes, FF4 even looks a little like Chrome. My son installed Chrome on my wife's pc but without any extensions or personalisation so I find it too minimal to be useful.

I guess that's the thing with FF - I've tweaked it to do and display what I want and starting over on a new browser doesn't bear contemplating.
