Good popup killers and those found in certain browsers will still allow javascript to run, and some even allow pop-up windows that you want to appear.

I have some pop ups that were built into my computer. They are all blocked now, but all of them but 2 were about pop-up blockers.

Sponsered by Playboy. Interesting. But not surprising.

It is especially suspicious that "download link will be sent to your email". Whats the point in this, other than spam?

Some popup killers like the one that comes with opera and phoeni allow certain popups that you specitfy.

Is this related to the people who call during dinner offering you a chance to buy a TeleZapper?

A TeleZapper must block telephone numbers, huh? Star-65 ownz them...(or whatever you dial to block a phone number). As for the popup killer, yeah, very ironic.
