if only it were that simple. unlike any other pop up add, these ones are not coming from the web site. that is the big difference. its a third party making these pop ups appear, hense the website the surfer is visiting gets nothing from it, and in fact often loses because of it. now surely you can see the difference.
as for uninstalling, i bet 80% of the time surfers think these pop up ads are coming from the websites. do you really think most know that installing these toolbars will do such things? maybe 20% do but most im sure downloaded them in the first place to get something from some misleading website. not because they wanted a stupid toolbar that they could get from google or msn without any pop ups.
