Craig,
Hey man...just thought I'd hop off the thread for this conversation. I noted the same issues as you when I first started using IMPowersuite. So, 1) I got a captcha package from Death by Captcha and 2) I turned off the pop up thing in Internet Options. I think I replied to your question to this over on autobacklinkbomb forum. If you want to, you can swing over to my site and enter your contact info. Just reply to that message and we can chat via email. I'll reply to you from my gmail account so you can contact me via gmail chat if you'd like....
IMPowersuite builds my hubs SO much faster after I got the popup messages to stop
