Hey MUSLEMAN, I downloaded ad muncher but it didn't stop one popup.
What's wrong mate??
If it's the correct configuration, could you send me your configuration file.
Cheers :)

just thought i'd bump this topic - its pretty conclusive that Admuncher is the best,
also consider Firebird and Opera, the test says non-standard browsers shouldn't see anything
