Pop Up Stopper

[ZForce915]

What is the best pop up stopper for the PC? I used to use Pop-Up Stopper, but I found it worked well but made my system unstable. What do you guys use?

 

[Lootr2Core]

I use Opera as browser and have not seena pop up in 3 years.

if you want to buy, i heard stopzilla is a very good one.

i use the earthlink pop-up blocker (i have an earthlink account, but it might be freeware). Others are google toolbar pop-up blocker, yahoo toolbar pop-up blocker, the nvidia forceware pop-up blocker feature. Those are spyware safe.

get the yahoo or google search bar they have free pop up stoppers and work well

 

[WhipSmartBanky]

Google

 

[jeffreyjrose]

Safari (gotta love the mac)

 

[DMFunk]

Simple enough, don't use internet exploder use mozilla or opera...

 

[bignick]

hmmm I dont get that may popups for some reason, only on porn sites.

Google is much better. The yahoo bar stops all pop-ups.. even those that are part of the funtionality of a site... for example, if you want to use the smilies pop up from this site and have the Yahoo toolbar, it gets blocked. The Google toolbar lets it function as normal.... plus, google is just a great search engine to have right on your toolbar.

 

[Moxio]

I use Pop-Up Stopper Pro.

 

[PapiChullo]

I use the google toolbar. Pretty good.

 

[ZForce915]

I've already installed the Google toolbar and I'm loving it. It's pretty small, so I like it. I've already blocked 30 pop ups. Thanks for the tips.

I use Avant Broswer, has a built in option.

 

[coolcato]

My cable modem provider gives Checkit 86 as a popup blocker and that works pretty damn well.

i have google toolbar, and i dont get too many pop-ups. but i get ad's! it is soo irratating. how do i get them to stop popping up w/e changin browsers

 

[eldad9]

Why are you opposed to "changin" browsers? Does your contract with microsoft forbid you from using any browser other than MSIE?

 

[Moxio]

I use ZoneAlarm's ability to block advertisements (such as the ones that run on the top of a page). I haven't seen one in months.

 

[JakeT81588]

okay fine... i will change browser.. NOW WHICH ONE DO I USE! lol

 

[Moxio]

Avant, Opera, Firefox.

Just a few out of several.

The only way to be completely safe from pop-ups is to use Lynx.

 

[Moxio]

Isn't Lynx a Unix browser?

 

[JakeT81588]

i dont need pop up blocker, i need ad-blocker

 

[Alpha2]

Firefox I just started using it this morning, I'm almost about to use it exclusivly. Pictures download faster and it seems to be effective at catching popups.

 

[msdmoney]

Are you sure your system is completely free of spyware? If not you might wanna get ad-aware or spybot and run them. Also try cwshredder and hijackthis.

 

[polobearjp]

Anybody here use Crazy Browser? If ya download it, it comes with a free pop-up blocker. I've been using it the past few days and 0 pop-ups so far...

Apparently it's available for Windowsz now too. They only list up to NT, but that's probably compatible with XP.
