    Please get rid of the deceptive ad message which sends you to a website when you are trying to close the ad window.There is no way anyone is going to buy anything this way, and I really like to decide on my own if I want to go to a website.......Thanks

    If you click on the outer 'x' it will close the ad.

    aye, nothing new about that ad... those things have been around a bit...

    if you still get confused... just get into a habit of right clicking and closing them from the menu bar at the bottom of the screen (or wherever you have it placed)

    But, that would require someone to think. We can't have that now can we? ;)


    Oh yeah, I too am glad I paid the 30 bucks. It's been worth every penny so far.
