Hello, I have the free addition of panicware's pop up stopper, and now I sometimes have to sit their and wait for all these darn pop-ups to stop tring to manifest on my screen, sometimes it just goes crazy, like it freezes up, then its fine for about another 20 minutes. Any idea's?
I need a new pop-up stopper

I use the OPERA web browser which includes an option to refuse pop up's. It works great. kills em all. Great browser too. very fast. if you're interisted lemme know and I'll post a link to a copy of the software. You can get info at www.opera.comdlb said:

i found out if i dont looke at as much porn i dont have to deal with as many pop-ups
thats true. but they told me to stop or i would go blind. but i still dont belive them.
why dont you people just use kazaa to download porn like me. NO popups and its all free. but uh google has a popup blocker.
Firefox w/ Adblock works great for me.
how about running some spyware removal programs? antivirus? then just using the google toolbar with the pop up blocker turned on. works fine for me
If you Must use Winblows and interenet exploder , the google tool bar is one of the best Popup stoppers outthere .
www.crazybrowser.com is an internet explorer based internet program that completely blocks all pop ups, transfers all of your favorites you have saved in IE and it is tabbed, so instead of having multiple IE's in your taskbar, you have one running with multiple tabs that you simply click to get to, really awesome consolodation (sp?), unclutters your taskbar nicely.

99% of popups are caused by software on your machine. Getting rid of this software is a far better solution than just blocking popups. Get/Run Adaware and Spybot... run them back to back, 3-5 times in a row. This should rid you of most of your popups. If you still get a lot of them, lay off the porn.

Well, that's not quite true. There are many websites that use pop-ups as a means for their advertising. CNN.COM is one of them. Yes, there are lot's of adware programs that cause popups, and yes, ad-aware, and spybot will get rid of most of them. But for stopping pop up's in general you can't beat OPERA, (and I think that it's a number faaar less than 99%). Besides, it looks really cool, it's not MS, and it has the best full screen view out there. Also, I must reitterate, laying off the porn should not be an option. More porn is gooooood porn.jacksonpt said:

When I am having problems with Pop-ups I just think about baseball.
Yup me to. For years now. IE sucks.Ciaran said:

I'll second that. I don't bother with Adblock, and I haven't seen a popup in more than a year.Tenchiro said:
I use Adblock for banners and those frickin god awful flash ads. I tried opera but with a built in banner ad it immediately earned my spite.Silver said:
