I started using Firefox/Adblocker just because this this site has so much crud going on in the background. In fact this site is my home page in Firefox and I use MS Explorer for everything else.
Another thing...If you open a page that has moving avatars and ads just hit ESC and they will stop moving and using so much resources.
If I happen to 'mess up' and run my mouse over one of those words the AD of course pops up and if I try to 'close it' it boots me clear out of Explorer with some type of error message.
I actually have multiple layers of protection on my machine, so it may be a combination of things that solved it in my case. Since you are running Internet Exploder, you can try adding these entries to the "Restricted sites" zone:
*.intellitxt.com
*.vibrantmedia.com
Hey Thanks for this 'tip'...
I just did this and it works perfectly...
Words are still there but they no longer 'pop up an AD'.....
I owe ya' a case of beer, bottle of Dr. D, or whatever ya' want...
