    Pop-up Blockers

    For IE: Google Toolbar
    Other: Mozilla Firefox 1.0

    Adware / Spyware Removal

    Ad-Aware

    SpyBot S&D

    Spy Sweeper

    I recommend using all 3 ad/spyware software.

    Yup good pop up blocker would be the mozilla browser ( havent seen a pop up in along while because of it )

    For IE , google toolbar seems to be the only good free one.... but some pop ups from some sites have been able to bypass it....

    With IE just get the service pack 2 and a pop up blocker adds onto IE and it works great but overall I just use firefox

    For a pop up blocker and ads blocker, use Supertrick XG 1.6, its an excellent utility that blocks millions of unwanted ad servers and scam sites.
    Supertrick Xg

    As for a browser pop-up blocker I use maxthon which also has a web ads blocker, float ad blocker and an activex blocker.You can get it @
    Maxthon

    For adware and spyware I use Ad-Aware and Spybot Search & Destroy. Both are excellent and free. You can also get it @ nsane's site (www.nsane.tk)

    AdMuncher is teh pwnage of all popup/ad blockers
    i use it along with firefox's blocker
    well...and its my only ad blocker for IE6....cause SP2 had to GTFO
    look around....there are "working" versions out there
    (or else cough up 24.95 for it)
    I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile.
    I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall as well.
    I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave.
    I will work to elevate you just enough to bring you down.
