GOOD Pop-up blockers

anybody have any good ones that they use? i have the popup blocker turned on in my internet options but i still get a bunch and they slow down my comp. preferably free ones. thanks

 

i use SMS free surfer. I got it off the tech tv site a long long time ago. It works great. It may be on download.com now.

 

What browser are you using? Firefox seems to have a pretty effective pop up blocker.

 

the regular internet explorer. i had firefox for a while but i dont know why i went back to this.

 

Ack.... forget pop ups, ditch IE just to make your computer a little more secure.

 

Are you sure it's not spyware?

 

you know to be honest im not sure...it might be. i dont know anything about spyware/cookies/stuff like that having to do with computers.

 

Firefox should be okay and free of spyware

 

Use Firefox, awsome pop-up blocker and then you can get an extension called adblock, where you can surf the net with no ads on websites.

 

I use popup manager, it's free and it's really easy to use.
...and it works too!

I use the Google tool bar. You can download it for free from Google and it has a built in pop-up blocker.

 

For IE make sure you have Service Pack 2 for Windows, they pop up blocker is very effective.

As for Firefox, yes it prevents popups, but if your machine has spyware on it already, this is merly a bandaid fix and you willl still suffer the negative effects from that spywaye.

 

Sp2, ad aware/microsoft anti-spyware, firefox...

you're set.

 

and don't make mistakes.. it has to be Ad aware from Lavasoft otherwise you will only get even more spyware


Googlebar is said to give more spyware.... just my 5 cent

 

Yes, definately, and no, not at all regarding google's toolbar.
read through links in sig if you need further info.

 

Okay I was told that google bar wasn't good I'll tell the person it's not true
Great link btw... saved in favourites now
I use a lot of my time to help others with spyware, malware, virusses etc... so good to know about the googlebar

 

STOP using Explorer, START using Firefox.

 

Unfortunately, I spend a bit too much time cleaning up the crap. Does it pay? It depends, yes and no. Friends/family/Carbon... not really. Do you expect me to charge 100 bucks and be an a$$? According to one member on Fchat who has a site that deploys the junk, I should be. Well, ethically, I'd rather not. He can go to the bank while ripping off other people's info and turning those systems into drones.

 

I have heard a LOT about firefox.... but can it do the same as explorer??
and can i have both installed??

 

It could do what Explorer does and more. I have Explorer on my computer as well, sometimes things don't work on Firefox so i just go and try it with Explorer (rarely happends).

Make sure to use the tabs as well, they are awesome!

 

Okay... do you have a link for download??
I'll wait untill some day... if ever... i'll get back my pc from repair at HP
I'm not on my own pc right now,,,

I hate when people does that I hate spy and malware.... more should be done to stop it.
I do what i can to inform about it to people who don't know.
I know several people who bought their first pc... and after ½ a year they are sorry they bought it, because it's destroyed with virus, spy etc And many of them don't know they could have stopped much of it !!

 

wee and it's in Danish too didn't know that.

 

I just switched to Fire fox and lost all my sites from " My Favorites" folder on IE.
