Pop up blocker? (non-aviation)

[Northern Lights]

I'm sure that I'm not the only one that is tired of the annoying "pop-up" advertisements that appear while trying to surf the web.

So I was wondering if anyone knows of a good pop-up blocker program that they recommend downloading?

I did a search on google and there were endless options. Just looking for some input,

Thanks

They have a free version that works quite well.

The new Google toolbar also blocks popups...

toolbar.google.com

panicware.com Pop-Up Stopper Free Edition works great, it's a small download, 456Kb. I've used it for a few months with no problems at all.

100% success with Panicware Pop-up Stopper. Very easy to toggle on and off when you need Java.

I'll second the google tool bar with the built in tool bar. Easy to download and use. I just downloaded it two days ago and haven't had one pop up yet.

You folks that are using other than panicware, are you getting any indication at all of a pop-up? For instance, all of my popups are blocked, but I see them for a fraction of a second before they go away. Is anyone using a method where you don't see the ad at all, even for a millisecond?

mozilla, is the only way to go

it's free

has built in pop up stopping where you dont even see the windows at all, but can have it play a sound and put an icon on the status bar to tell you a pop up was blocked so that you can then exempt that site from blocking if its one that you need the pop ups off of (such as login screens etc)

built in email program that's not susceptible to all the virii written out there like outsuck express is (unless of course your foolish enough to open the attachments that contain the virus)

email has built in spam filtering as well, it marks messages it deems as spam, and you can mark/unmark ones as necesary so that the program learns even more and does a better job of blocking spam so once your comfortable it's blocking most of the spam and not the stuff you want you can set it to automatically delete those spams so you don't see them in your inbox

faster and more stable than either IE or netscape

built in webpage authoring, don't need to know html code, just insert images, backgrounds set colors, put in text, and have it publish the pages to your site/server

i've been using mozilla for over a year, highly recommend it

anyone has any other questions about mozilla, pm me.


get mozilla here, enjoy!

Stop Pops

Have used this for more than a year and have loved it. It has a counter so you can see exactly how many pop-ups it has blocked. (3738 in the past few months)

EMS Free Surfer MK II. I was recomended it off of tech TV.....

Basically, use a browser other than IE. Every other current browser that I know of blocks popups automatically - you won't ever know they're there.

Why Microsoft doesn't pull their heads out of their @sses and block popups in IE, I dunno. I implemented a popup blocker in an open source browser back in 2000, and it literally took me all of 10 minutes to do. They must be getting some kind of financial kickback somewhere.

The easiest way to stop them is to quit looking at all of those porn sites.

Sorry had to do it.

I got my pop up blocker off of Orbitz.com. Somewhere on the page it has a link to download the blocker for free. It works great.

I second EMS Free Surfer, its free and works great. Heres a link
EMS FREE SURFER MK11

Also checkout Spybot to delete the spyware off your computer, also free

Norton Personal Firewall blocks popups really well (I have never gotten any). It has an "ad blocking" section. Great product. Not free though.

If you use internet explorer the BEST way to block popups is the brand new and FREE google toolbar... http://toolbar.google.com/

It just plain works and is feature rich allowing you to allow certain sites have popups etc.
