NOTAMs is user-configurable--you can tell it to automatically appear or not (the little on/off links endable/disable it). However, once it's turned off, you'll only not see it again until we issue a new NOTAM.

Typically, unless you shut IE down and restart it, you don't delete all pages in memory. Does this still occur when you delete your cache files and restart IE?

Can you be more specific which popup window(s) you're having problems with? If all of the windows, I'd suspect that something on your system is causing the main VPC page not to load properly. (Which goes back to the restarting IE suggestion above--after flushing your cache and turning off your popup killer). So far, you're the only one that's reported any problems, and as far as I know, the only one whose reported using popup killers.
FYI, I use WebWasher from Siemens (which kills ads and ad popups) but works perfectly here. You can get it at www.webwasher.com. It could be that your popup killer is too agressive/non-discriminating.
Hope this helps!
Ben
