Well, I can help you with one problem. The pop up ads.  When those wicked full screen ones with no close button (that I hate) pop up, I just do Alt-F4 and that will close the window on top. I am not sure what operating system you are using, but that is what I do on Win 98.   Or, if you take the option I did, I totally got rid of pop ups, and I am able to control them by holding down Control or Shift when I want to see a pop up. I downloaded a program called "PopOops" off of http://www.webattack.com It is compact and gets the job done.   Now I am not sure about the problem about the homepage address changing by itself quite frequently, but I can tell you this. Most homepages and ads (like the casino ads and junk) switch your homepage automatically!  But if you need to change it back and dont know how. Open a browser page, hit "ALT T" and then "ALT O" and change the "Homepage Address" to your preference, and then hit Okay.  I hope this helps!<p>-Jon
