Legal Question in Technology Law in Utah
internet advertising
I have a question regarding internet
advertising. There is an advertisement that I do not want my children to be
subjected to, that pops up everytime that I connect to the internet. I have
asked them to make it stop several times, and it continually pops up
there. Is
there any way that I can legally make them stop. Please help me. Thanks,

Re: internet advertising
There are tech ways of preventing the pop-ups, so you do not need to resort to a lawsuit.
For example, you can download a free program called "Pop-Up Stopper" by going to http://www.panicware.com/product_downloads.html. Also, there are programs to keep your children away from sites containing pornography, like NetNanny.

Re: internet advertising
There is no way to prohibit the sending of the ad. You can install a "pop-up killer" program which may eliminate some of the ads. Also talk to your computer vendor about other options.
