Is there any procedure to stop pop-up ads?

#2 09-01-2007, 02:10 AM

I have this same problem. I have turned off advertisements here:
Tools -> Settings -> Program Settings -> Turn off Sponsorship and Shopping
Links (check box)
But now, only after updating money several months ago, I keep getting
pop-ups that are Microsoft Ads for Money Plus, etc. I don't want these
pop-ups when I open Money.
Maybe the update broke the setting?

Reiner,

Thanks for the suggestion. I've done that for years and it seems to
inoculate against the embedded ads, but not the pop-ups direct from
Microsoft. I wonder if others have had a different experience.

John,
I'm not sure which version of MS Money you are using but these instructions
should get you in the general area to fix sponsorships:

Tools -> Settings -> Program Settings -> Turn off Sponsorship and Shopping
Links (check box)

Good Luck

I've never cared for them, but the pop-ups in Money have been more aggressive
lately. They have concerned a banking update and Money Plus. In the past,
they have mostly been tax season ads for some tax program. No matter what I
do, I can't seem to get rid of the recent ones. I write to ask, very
respectfully, if MS provides any means to opt out of receiving such things?
Is there a version of Money that perhaps costs more that I can buy which is
shielded from the advertising? This seems a little raw, but would MS accept
money to be removed from the ad list so that I don't see an ad every time I
open Money?
