ok home boy or girl.
Just stop using Internet Exploder (too many holes). first of all, install mozilla firebird (google search), which has an onboard ad blocker and works quite well. Also install Spybot Search and Destroy (google search) which should keep you clean from adware.

Just Right click on the bar that appears on top of IE and uncheck " Browser pal Toolbar "

That should do it, or get OPERA...

The Google Toolbar
I can&#39;t say how great this software has been for me. It blocked almost every pop-up :D . Plus it&#39;s easy to install and work with.

hmmm pop up stoppers .... they are great but I don&#39;t use them as it often restricts you. For example, clicking a link which opens in a new window or &#39;view stats&#39; in a poll etc wont work. But if you have to have one I&#39;d say norton internet security or Zone alarm 4 do great jobs.

I think your right TR shady I use the 1 in norton and I never see a popup..Or he could use Opera..

I use two. Popup Ad Filter and Pop-Up Stopper Free Edition. But for inline advertisements, the best is still the KL hosts modification, and eDexter.

If that&#39;s the case, you need a not-crap popup killer. :D

I can&#39;t stress this enough, do not uninstall Internet Explorer. This has been discussed numerous times, even in the Sunday Times, it&#39;s just not worth it, in terms of internet surfing, Microsoft cannot be beaten. Stay with it, you won&#39;t regret it. ;)

k everyone thx for ur answers...heres the uptake

First - so a friend told me BrowserPal Ad Blocker after a few hours of usage u could remove the toolbar after letting some "friends" know about the program... hehe i removed it when i couldn&#39;t take out the toolbar, cuz i don&#39;t got patience :D

Second - I REALLY like IE....so I don&#39;t think I&#39;m changing it at all... thx for the opera suggestions anyway

Third - getting opera doesnt actually mean uninstalling IE :D

thx ppl...i recommend www.browserpal.com for the best ad blocker....and YES, IT DOES WORK...

i made the test with a lot of sites....specially porn ones...ZERO POPUPS...guaranteed. And besides, the software is free :)
