Sometimes I have to hit [Cancel] a dozen or more times until it stops
popping up.

It doesn't seem to be happening in Opera or Konqueror. I googled for
it,but haven't found anything. Is it possible I have a corrupted file
or even some sort of virus?

No, not a virus

pop6.com seems to be an online dating service. I can only guess that
graphics.pop6.com is where they serve their graphics from. Access to it gives
a Permission Denied

My guess is that you are visiting web sites that display ads from the pop6.com
site, but because of a configuration error on their part, you are not allowed
to download the ads

Annoying, to be sure, but the problem isn't on your side, I can't imagine

Of course, it might be related to a plugin add-on you've installed in firefox
as well. Hard to tell

Thanks for the response. I may have fixed it by moving my user
directory to a backup location, creating a new user, then moving back
the files I needed from the old data.

This is the second time in two weeks I've had to do this, though the
symptoms were quite different each time.

If there's a good side to this, I'm learning what files are important
and what they're for.

Now, if I could get display screens to show Danish characters. I can
type them in using a Danish keyboard setup, but they don't display in a
lot of firefox locations; and I occasionally would like to have ø æ and
å at my disposal.
