Thanks to everyone who responded!  I'm going to get them to run Ad-Aware 
first.  I ran it on my home machine last night and was shocked to see what 
was on there.  If that alone doesn't do it, I will get them to install some 
kind of pop up killer.  I've used Pop Up Killer and found that it closed 
down things that I didn't want it to.  I tried Pow!  from Analog X last 
night and it works well except you have to tell it which windows you don't 
want. Is there a happy medium?  Do you have recommendations as to what 
works in your library?
