| 271225 | 2004-09-11 05:44:00 | Hi there. I have a pretty common question. I'm basically after a decent program to block popups. I've already seen and tried a few like Google Toolbars built in one but in the case of that one, it doesn't seem to be able to tell that sometimes the popup is just me clicking open link in new window. My school seems to have a very effective popup / ad blocker in place because whenever we go on the internet there, literally there are no popups at all. Ever. Plus it is able to tell if you're opening a link in a new window. Does anyone have any recommendations on a really decent popup blocker? Cheers. |

| 271230 | 2004-09-11 06:28:00 | Well I don't know what everyone keeps talking about. I use opera sometimes. Popups galore. I don't see how theres a popup stopper in it. And SP2 well I sorta can't be stuffed download and installing SP2. Don't really wanna risk things screwing up and stuff and waste more time. Any other suggestions???? |

| 271233 | 2004-09-11 06:38:00 | You could try http://www.download.com Search for popup blocker. Most of them are probably shareware, so you may or may not have to pay, if you want to continue using it. There maybe some freeware version of something there Or if u have something like Norton Internet Security use that. It deals with popups and useless ads. |

| 271234 | 2004-09-11 06:50:00 | Mozilla Firefox (www.mozilla.org) blocks popups etc and gives you extra browsing security. Otherwise, what firewall do you currently use? Agnitum Outpost - Free Old Version (www.agnitum.com) also stops banners and popups (does not block flash though). It is easy to setup and use. |
