If you want the flexibility of a "hotmail" ((I do, and I have it), but don't
want all the animated ads, get a bundle pack like Norton Internet Security.
I don't work for 'em, and I've only recently started using the package, but
it has a WONDERFUL ad-ware blocker that leaves your viewed web page intact,
while simply screening the ad location (turning it black or transparent). I
paid $29.95 for my copy, including a 1-year subscription to NAV's virus
updates, on the website: NextAisle.
Also, there's a couple of freebie packages available on C|Net's
Download.com: "Adware," whick you can use to clean your system and registry
of cached ad files, and "Pop-up Stopper," which does exactly what it says it
does. Both occationally leave you with WIndows Message Service error
messages (Of course! Your Adware thinks its broken if it can't cover your
screen with its ad!), but these are background, and much easier to dump than
the ads themselves.
Cheers!
