This site keeps sending me a window to log in. The first time I tried opening it(big mistake I think). I wonder if it placed a special cookie that I can't get rid off. I deleted all my cookies from Temp internet files and it still pops in the window. As far as I know it happens when I am in PCmech forums. How can I block it?

Its probably just the ad server sending popups .. harmless even though annoying.

Does that mean there isn't a way to block these?

You can block them. If you point every ad host to LOCALHOST in your hosts file they'll try to load from your machine, and you'll never see any ads.

This is what I did. The fist entry was already there. I just change it to 0.0.0.0

The second entry I made. I noticed that when the window appeared on my screen it read .com instead of .net. Is .net what it's suppose to be on this entry below? After further review, I tried both with .net,.com and the window still pops on my screen.

0.0.0.0 localhost
0.0.0.0 ads.ad-flow.net

Also, how do I find a site's IP address? Thanks.
