  Don't know about the rest of you, but I'm getting tired of have those annoying pop-up windows pop up when I inadvertently swipe my cursor of any random word that happens to be underlined! Can I disable this annoyance?

Go to your Control Panel and check under Applications if you have something called Coupon Companions installed. If so, uninstall that. Then, in your browser, check your addons for the same item. if it's there disable or remove it. It probably got installed when you were updating something (e.g., Java) that had an optional program to install (that was automatically checked to install).

It's your browser Troy.  Like Howard said, something is preying on your surfing and popping up the ads, not NCKA.

If it's text in the main body of the site, that's not an NCKA thing.  However, lately I've been noticing more and more "rollover popups" in the Google Ads.  I need to figure out how to disable them from serving up those types of ads.

  My control panel doesn't have an "Application" icon is there some place else this coupon companion crap could be?  I tried searching for it and nothing came up?

 Ha! Found that SOB!  It was some program " Innovative Apps, Supreme Savings" Had to locate it in my C Program files (x86) \ supreme.  It had an uninstall feature!  Now random words are NOT underlines and those annoying pop-ups don't flash anylonger!  :smt003  Thanks Howard for giving me an idea of where to start looking!
