Is there a way I can turn off pop-ups on IE6? I don't
want to pay someone $40 for a feature that should be part
of the browser itself.

Do I have to write a script (I'm a programmer) myself?

Norm,
The first thing to do is to scan your system for the possibility of
unknown\unwanted spyware or parasites that may be causing your problem(s).

There are plenty of FREE popup killers - if you do a search on Google you'll
find one.

I think "Popup Stopper" is one example.
