Down with Vicks!

Has anyone been able to turn off that annoying Vicks ad? Even though my popup blocking is enabled, the darn thing keeps dropping cough and cold medicine down on my screen. I'll be sure to never buy the stuff--store brands only, for me!

Those ads that go floating sideways across the screen I can't stop either. The ads that stand still or flash different messages/pics I can take, but not the ultra-intrusive ones. How much additional $ do you think Ivillage gets for the obnoxious ones?

I must have a pop-up blocker, because I don't get any of those ads! I do get an occasional survey request...well, more than occasional...but that's all!

I don't recall a Vicks ad either.

Ditto for me too---no Vicks ad.

Lots of times bizzare things happen like this if you have a virus or spyware on your computer.

Haven't noticed...I get very few ads and I just automatically close them, without even looking!


I love Vick's VapoRub!
