Pop Up Ad Blocker
 

Anyone have any suggestions on what effective software program that works to stop those annoying Pop-up adds? I going to go crazy!!!!:mad: :mad:

John,

I downloaded a free pop-up stopper from a site that was in a thread on "this here network" some time ago. It's been working great. I just have to remember to hold down the Crtl key when I want the extra private message window to pop-up. :)

go here:

free downloads of utilities, screensavers, etc.

Try the Google toolbar 2.0 it has a pop up blocker in it

EMS FREESURFER MK II is what you want. Best popup stopper there is.

It might be a good idea, if you already haven't, to make sure you don’t have Gain/Gator installed on your computer. This causes a preponderance of pop-ups. You can remove it with Ad-Aware.

get spybot
you can get it from download.com
it's better than ad aware

Use Netscape/Mozilla...it's built in. (plus a better browser IMO)

I've been using mozilla for about a week now. Much better than IE - seems faster too. Pop up blocker hasn't failed me yet and the tabbed browsing is awesome. With mozilla you can get all the good features of netscape without the extra fat and you can pretend you're elite cause not many people know what it is ;)
