Default Banner ad blocking

I recently changed AV programs from Kaspersky to Norton/Symantec.

The Norton/Symantec AV doesn't have banner ad blocking, and I'm hoping that
Win XP might have some settings somewhere that minimize these annoying
banner ad programs (they do for pop-ups).

Anybody know of anything?

Thanks

Not only does Windows XP not have anything to block banner ad programs, they
don't have anything to block pop-ups.

It wasn't a correction, it was an enlargement. He was polite. Why
are you so hostile?

Nice mouth!! It doesn't exactly make anyone want to help you out........and
AFAIN, IE7 certainly does block pop-ups........but I primarily use Firefox
and it DEFINITELY does block them via the use of "AdBlock"........which is a
small program you add to the browser.

Now.......don't be rude or I shall be forced to get the bar of Sunlight Soap
out and shove it down your throat!! (G)
