Try adaware or change your browser settings to not install 3rd party browser plugin's

or you could get mozilla ...

I have the same problems but not from a porn site itself. In XP, where do you go to set browser settings to not install browser plugins? I checked in the internet settings and couldn't find that one.

go get a program called spywareblaster, it prohibits bad activex controls from even being asked whether or not to install.

Thanks for the info. Downloaded spywareblaster and will see what happens.

Spyware Blaster is great, it blocks all those crappy "Install-On-Demand" dialog boxes.

turn off active-x, that ought to hopefully stop all those messages.
