I agree - pop up messages like this are becoming a real pain. I use NTL Broadband and if I leave the service on I get approximately 3 per hour. But there is good news... if any of them are adverts for premium rate number in the UK, you can note the message and the number and complain to ICSTIS - they have ruled that it is a viloation of the premium rate operators terms and conditions as well as a contravention of the computer mis-use act.
