Does anyone else have any success in unsubscribing from Tom's Guide? I've tied for months to get rid of the pop-ups, which are extremely annoying (I would like control of my own computer, thank you very much), but the unsubscribe button results in an error.

The suggestion to rid your browser of these annoying ads from tomsguide.com is meant for those who are familiar with working with a computer registry. 95 % of computer users have no idea what a registry is, much less how to go in and do anything with it. So, to just say, "CLEAR THE REGISTRY...
