| 51600 | 2002-05-30 10:10:00 | Bear in mind: 1- I got an old pooter. 2- I got a slow pooter. 3- I got an old and slow pooter running Win 98. :-) |

| 51601 | 2002-05-30 10:20:00 | Pop ups? What are they? Been using Outpost for a few weeks now and can't remember the last time I saw a pop up. PS Is your pooter older and slower than mine? Pent II 266, Win 98. Got 152MB RAM though :-) |

| 51602 | 2002-05-30 10:23:00 | There are a number available. The one I use is freeware, AdIEFiltr, amongst other things it stops banners as well as popups. You can get it from: <www.utils32.com There are other interesting utilities on this site. Cheers |

| 51603 | 2002-05-30 10:34:00 | Yep! Mine slower - same 'cept I only got 32Mb RAM - and it's a laptop. And I'm running an old and overused 15' monitor plugged into it 'cos the backlight tube is blown and it is cheaper to buy a monitor than to get the panel fixed .. | Guest (0) | ||
| 51604 | 2002-05-30 10:45:00 | I use Pop Up Stopper available from www.panicware.com. It is easy to install and does not seem to affect any other programs and it is free (donations requested) and I can still use Audio Galaxy no probs. The relief from endless pop-ups is amazing. | Guest (0) | ||

| 51606 | 2002-05-30 12:03:00 | Apparently some pop-up killers can change some of your settings, so if you get problems after installing a killer it might be worth uninstalling and trying another. | Guest (0) | ||
| 51607 | 2002-05-30 19:15:00 | Hello, I use to use webwasher and was very impressed especially since I used to have a site hosted with geocities. Never saw x10 again after that. Since changing to Opera as my dominant browser I no longer have pop ups, pop unders, and also cookies and spyware have gone as well, and so no need for webwasher. You mentioned a slow puter. Opera could help with that as well. sam m |
