Hey Nags,

Start with this: http://www.safer-networking.org/ (Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.2)
and follow up with this: http://toolbar.google.com/ to block the pop-ups.

Also, MozillaFirebird has built-in pop-up blocking: http://www.mozilla.org/

You may want to read though the FAQ and the Privacy Policy on the Google toolbar:

Another vote for Google Toolbar...

Another forum specific to discussions on Computer software, including Internet software, that you might find other discussions on Popup Blockers can be found at:

http://www.dslreports.com/forum/84

Popup Blockers actually discussed yesterday:

http://www.dslreports.com/...rk,9103905~mode=flat

While Google Toolbar has a wonderful Popup Blocker and does block the common pop-ups used in websites, it is only 75% successful with blocking all types of pop-ups...if I can find the reference, I'll post it...also if I can find the Pop-up Blocker test website that I used for testing different Pop-up Blockers, I'll post that as well.

Also, you might consider using Mozilla Firebird that has a built-in pop-up blocker or if you really like IE, you could try using MyIE2, which is basically a skin for the IE engine, but also has unique features, such as ad and pop-up blocking.

Also, bare in mind that when the new version of IE is released (if it's released since M$ was recently fined like $500 million for patent infringement related to developing IE when a patent for the same technology was available back in the mid 90's), M$ does plan on including a pop-up blocker.

Buh Bye!

I use Google toolbar... its pretty cool, and its blocked loads of popups for me :)

The only thing I can think of that I need now, is something to stop the PITA 'alert boxes' that keep appearing on me in XP Frown

Andy,
to get rid of those you need to turn your messenger service off.
Won't affect you unless you share a printer or some other device on your XP machine.
This will tell you how - http://www.couplescompany.com/...res/popupproblem.htm

MSN has released a BETA Toolbar for IE:

http://toolbar.msn.com/

Some who have tried it say it works well.

This may be a preview of the Popup Blocker that is supposed to be included in either SP2 for Windows XP, or as a separate SP update for IE later this year.

Firefox scored 330 out of 400. Mozilla v1.7 scored higher and may be a better option.
