I have Google Toolbar, Yahoo! Companion Toolbar, and MSN Toolbar

So I essentially have 3 pop-up blockers.

I have noticed however that I am still getting pop-ups from certain sites. Some of these sites include, www.soundclick.com and www.dictionary.com

Why are the pop-up blockers having trouble with these? I don't remember them having trouble before.

Hmmm, no popup problems with Firefox, but I get them in IE.

Must be an embedded ActiveX control. Popup blockers can do little about those.

I get no pop-up on http://www.soundclick.com/ and www.dictionary.com (http://www.dictionary.com) with firefox/Mozilla/Internet Explorer. (I just finished trying it in all)
Maybe you have adware installed?

Try using Ad Muncher (http://filesharingtalk.com/index.php?showtopic=113446) as your pop-up blocker. It is the best out there. B)

Can you make a screen shot of the pop-up. Maybe you can post the url?

yeah, il make the screen shots tomorrow. I think they are standard pop-ups though. Just imagine going to those sites without a pop-up blocker and thats what its like for me.

I used both Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D updated. they found nothing that needed to be deleted except for tracking cookies.
