Does anybody know how to block the browser bridge ads?


No, but you could try this, Neal:

They redirect you to ads when you leave a page
and go to another. The ads steal the focus and count down from ten seconds and then go away. Or you can click a
link to make them go away but they take about ten seconds anyway. You get them from your ISP.
Read about them he http://www.121media.com/advertisers.htm
Pop Up Stopper isn't stopping them, Ad Aware isn't stopping them either. IE popup blocker doesn't stop them.
You can't even block them in a firewall because they use a bogus domain http://cv.sysip.net which ARIN says doesn't
exist and is available....
These ads make me mad. Somebody must know how to get rid of them for good.

Cheers,
Ellen
