Remember when we didn't think twice about clicking pop-ups?

Back then, I'd just click to make them go away. A sneaky one once installed adware that slowed my computer to a crawl. I figured out to use task manager to stop it (and now I keep ad blockers on).

Back in 2005, I found a useful tool through a pop-up that helped me fix my computer. Not all pop-ups are bad; some sites need ads to stay free. Ad blockers can actually hurt small websites that rely on that income. What about the good pop-ups we might miss now?

Remember that for every helpful pop-up, ten are trash.
