Me too, but I got a popup killer, and haven't had any problems with them since.

Every browser sends out a signature, telling its version and also its language to any website. I think IE even sends the language of the OS. Among other stuff.

This way banner ads are often customized to fit your language, the banner load according to the info sent by the browser. So I will get German ads, you Scandinavian and others their language ads.

Right now, mine's an ad for high speed Internet.

Maybe it knows I only have a 56k modem!!

Well, I've absolutely no interest in a Norweigan Computer Magazine. If it doesn't have any Swedish ads wehy doesn't it show me English?

Maybe it reads your IP provider?
