    Default Most Annoying Pop-ups?

    Mine are the ones that pop up asking you if you want to download software from a certain company. When you say no, they say, "You must press yes to continue", when you say no again, it goes to the download window, you know, do you want to save, open or cancel, and then when you press cancel, it says, "You must press yes to continue!"

    BLOODY INFURIATING!!!!!!!!!!

    i hate the one that dosn't have an x in the top left corner and only has an ok button. If you press ok it takes you up this screen saver site and the only way you can get out is by using ctrl=alt=del

    I hate the 'You are the so and so person to visit this site! You have won a $1000 holiday! Click here!' pop ups. Its infuriating, and plus $1000 won't cover a holiday to Figi from Australia anyways.

    All pop-ups are annoying...even my pop-up blocker is annoying, since it sends this really high-pitched noise through my speakers when it catches one.

    Although I think the most annoying one I've ever gotten was a one selling free razor blades...It was a little bit disturbing.

    I hated the popups that tried to sell me pop-up blocker software.

    I also hated the popups that would pop up through IE even though I use Firefox.

    That's what came into my mind as well. But yes, the "install our spyware!" pop up is annoying, but at least they give you the option.

    I will do this. Nothing in my life matters except this. No moment in my life exists except this moment. I am born in this moment, and if I fail, I will die in this moment.

    What the hell's a pop-up?

    Good ol' pop-up blocker~

    Back in the day when I was a computer/internet n00b, I hated those pop-ups that didn't have a close button.
