the best 'banner blocker' i've used is Ad Muncher (http://www.admuncher.com/) the only downside to ad-muncher is that it costs money. You can download the trial for 30 days but then you have to register it.

Cheers :D

P.S There are many crack/keygens out there for ad-muncher :ph34r:

Wont prefer that. It blocks all the animations on the webpage as well. Not sure people would want that. At least not me.

Dont use a serial or crack for ad muncher. Tho i think this is a great program, they scan to see if you got a legit serial. Then they record your IP and date & time. Then they give you little message that tells you they using the program illagly will result in a prison term of 5 years or 250,000 dollors. Then it takes it back to the 30 day trial. ;)

Norton Internet security is a good popup/ad blocker.

Use Netcaptor -- its basically a skin for IE, it uses multiple windows interface like Opera, it's BUILT IN pop-up blocker !!! So With Netcaptor, u r stil using ur IE (opens every damn link that opens in IE, cuz it is IE :)) and getting rid of the damn pop-ups.

yea, zonealarm is great. just turn off the banner ad blocker. it's not like u'll die from seeing a few banner ads. but it's still works great, and u don't need like a firewall and ad blocker. saves system resources

Ad Muncher is definitely the way to go.

About its "Serial Verification" - You need to first block www.admuncher.com through the HOSTS file, then register it. It will not bug you :)

I still dont trust it, kinda scared me for 0.3 secounds.http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/k/smileybreasts.gif

But yeah Ad Muncher is the best, and works with opera. Imight just buy it. Just to be safe. (lol i sound like a dumass, huh paying for stuff :lol: )

every one of us thinks this software is better than that software.

how about it we make it a challange? If anyone has a site address that REALLLLLLLY generates banner/popup (or whatever u wanna call them), to post it and let&#39;s all go there and see if the software we have is really blocking ALL.

We have to be honest in our results and if u can post a count of how many were blocked.

Ad Muncher does block every popup/ad/banner, and is the best. Sucks i cant get it. Other then that everything is a toss up and should be a challange between them

It&#39;s not that &#39;my software&#39; is best. I&#39;m talking from experience, as I tried a lot of ad blocking programs: AdsBegone, AdSubtract [also good but seems uncrackable], WebWasher, Norton Internet Security, Pop-up Stopper, Free Surfer mk II, Zero Popup, etc.

I must say that the best banner/popup blocker for IE 5.x is WebWasher. It doesn&#39;t seem to work as good as it did on IE6.

Trust me, it works. It &#39;logged&#39; me about 5 times before I found this way.
Besides, I would never post a solution that I haven&#39;t checked and proved it works.

Of course, paying is a good solution too :D

Now, DOES ANYONE HAVE A SITE THAT WILL SLAMMMMM U WITH POPUP/BANNERS/ETC.......? IF SO PLEASE POST IT HERE AND LET&#39;S ALL GO IT AND TEST OUR SOFTWARE, THEN COMEBACK AND REPORT THE HOW MANY DID IT BLOCK. :)

In IE only the text or plain windows opened (those were considered safe)

In Firebird NOTHING appeared

In Opera NOTHING appeared

Unique 78 "Ads" were blocked out of 81 :)

speaking to everyone here (including the devs) why don&#39;t we make our own ad-blocker?? and make it open source?? it could be a clone of another such as admuncher for example?? wat do you guyz think??

Can&#39;t you just block all internet access with Ad Muncher with a firewall? Or does Ad Muncher require internet access to work?

if ur interested, try THIS TIP (http://www.klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=64831&st=0&#entry499791) then THIS TIP (http://www.klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=64831&view=findpost&p=567015) plus NIS, that would block 99% of the junk. I can&#39;t wait till Norton includes the blocking Java and Flash ads, which is the 1% left.

im lookin for 1 too. is should not run at startup, should work wit IE6, use less resources n should not slow down IE at startup.
ne suggestions, there r so many choices hard to decide.
