187521 2003-10-29 06:22:00 I seem to be getting lots and lots of popups when looking at my favourite TradeMe website.
Some of them have pictures of things not suitable for my son to see.
I have homexp and wonder if I can download something for free to block these???

187522 2003-10-29 06:24:00 Use Opera or Mozilla firebird plus webwasher also run spybot kiwibeat (304)
187523 2003-10-29 06:27:00 can I have website address please? starfish (3019)
187524 2003-10-29 06:33:00 You could also try this popup killer and banner advertising preventer, Adiefltr.zip from here:

tvsecure.net


It is a freeware version, no longer available from the main web site, www.utils32.com
The latest version costs about US$19, but the free one works ok.

187525 2003-10-29 06:37:00 the other thing I have been told about is a nannywatch for when children are surfing the net.

187526 2003-10-29 06:42:00 Website addresses can be found for those programs by doing a search at www.google.com.

Firebird from www.mozilla.org

Opera from www.opera.com

Webwasher is available from here (www.pcworld.com) I presume. Have not tried that program myself but the other two are excellent alternatives to Internet Explorer. I use Firebird myself. :-)

187528 2003-10-29 07:08:00 Hi there i use no pops and it works wonders as you add the ads as you go along and it remembers them next itme that site is visted so no more annoying ads and its free on any cd these days! 3dah (4795)
187529 2003-10-29 07:17:00 There is no need to change your browser. Mozilla Firebird etc are a pain in some aspects. Use a popup stopper instead. I use adsubtract pro, and it is ideal.
Bye

187530 2003-10-29 07:25:00 i wouldn't have thought trademe would have porn adverts so i would look for adware/spyware with either adaware or spybot.

for add blocking a host file is simple and dosn't chew up cpu or resoures so much.
