i had the google tool bar before with a popup blocker in it, why didn't that work? is it not good?

only works if the pop ups come from a site thats in IEQuote:

If so you need to disable this service
check this link
u weren't getting pop ups
they are messages.
go to:
start>run>services.msc then look for messenger then disable it :)

thank you everyone

Hmmm...solve 2 probs at once. Get Zone Alarm Pro. Great firewall and a damn good pop-up blocker. I stopped using IE6 because of pop-ups. Now I can use it again. Even the loaded-to-the-hilt pop-up-form-hell site astalavista don't pop me any more. Or try analog-x pow. It's freeware and it works.
And yes, my dear children, the pop-up sharks are alive and well and hungry for surfer meat!!

Yes it is But some firewall have built in popup blockers like norton and zone alarm I think does. I have seen about 1 a month with norton firewall...
sygates an excellent firewall, but you have to block the messengerQuote:

for it to block the messenger, make sense? :blink:
you gotta block it in your applications rules,
there that made more sense :D :P
and disabling its a good thing too
i got it blocked and disabled :)
Wanna know what I'm using? A combination of 5 seperate programs.
* Ad Muncher (I swear by it. My favorite everything blocker to date)
* ZoneAlarm Pro with Web Filtering (For PG IP database blocklists)
* Spybot (Cleans computer of Spyware)
* SpywareBlaster (Goes hand-in-hand with Spybot. Prevents spyware from being installed on your computer)
* Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition (Keeps real nasty spyware and viruses at bay)
Unnecessary? Maybe. But I never see one ad, popup, virus... basically anything that I don't want on my computer... ever.
Edit: Forgot to mention, I hardly ever use IE. For browsing I use Mozilla Firebird, and for email, I use Mozilla Thunderbird.

That program seems just as obtrusive as a regular ad/popup:
