[chrisgm]

[The Kiler]

Admuncher

[TheFilePirater]

adshield found here (http://www.adshield.org), its very good, intergrated to IE and you can turn on/off different properties

[DarthInsinuate]

there's another thread somewhere (search for it) with a pop-up tester - Admuncher passed them all

i've tried Smasher and Freesurfer - Admuncher uses less memory than both, you can find a sig2dat link in the aforementioned thread

[Monkeee]

i personally like the Google Toolbar but its just a suggestion :rolleyes:

[muchspl2]

I don't need one with zonealarm and Myie2 working I have yet to see a popup in ages

[chrisgm]

THANXall.trying admuncher on trial version.seems to work

[shn]

Google toolbar is the best and most convenient for ie users.

Admuncher - munches all pop-ups

Question to all - do u have Norton Internet Security 2003 or 2004?

[AndrewBarker]

2003

I use the google toolbar in my IE. Opera has its own nice little built in blocker :ph34r:

[Mik3ll]

I suggest Pop This!, get it here http://www.mathies.com/popthis/

Its built into IE, and it has the option not to hear a sound, so I browse the internet not even knowing when I get a popup.

I use a modified version of PopUp Stopper 2.6 by PanicWare. I found it suited my need's perfectly (for the most part, I just hated all the junk menu's and shit in it so I removed them all with Resource Hacker and replaced the icon's with one's that made more sense, reduced the main executable's file size down from over 700Kb to just over 100Kb's, load's and run's alot faster now too lol) and stop's 99% of popup's and popunders, though it does not block ad's but ZA does that for the most part :-)

Opera is a great browser with a built-in popup blocker.

[nikita69]

The reason I asked if all of u had NIS03 or 04 is because with it and following the 4 tips i have in my sig about hosts, I assure u, ul never get a pop (for as long as u keep maintaining them). installing more and more software on ur pc is only going to destablize the OS.

To me, the best is PopUpCop. All you have to do is to update regularly. And it isn't eating memory.

Google Toolbar (http://toolbar.google.com/) is the best because it is so much more than just a pop-up blocker.

yea spyware <_<
don&#39;t use it, and if you do, turn off page rank

[Supernatural]

I wouldn&#39;t really call it spyware, just statistics analyses. It no different than hit counters and site traffic logs. Besides, PageRank isn&#39;t installed without your consent.

[muchspl2]

don&#39;t want this fight about this again :rolleyes:
but sending all that info to google is a bad idea, sending that much info to any company is a bad idea
think about the consequences of any 1 person having that much info on you so I&#39;ll stat it again, if you must use it, turn off page rank &#33;

[Supernatural]

The info sent is anonymous. And of course it should be disabled. I&#39;m just saying that it isn&#39;t as harmful as people think. It&#39;s not like gator or anything.
