I like Pop-Up Stopper Professional too

. I found it to be the best. Some of those pop up blockers turn you mouse cursor into something when it finds a pop up.

I find that so freakin annoying

. Pop-Up Stopper is easy to turn off or on and never annoys you. Best of all, it resides in the IE toolbar and doesn't clog up your start bar.

How does it work? If it just closes the pop up then it sucks.

Wasn't really interested in an advert filtering prog ....

I've been burned by Adsgone ... There were serious lags between the loading times for pages with Adsgone than without .... and if I'm going to actually slow down my browsing, I prefer the ads ...

In addition, it took up too much System Resources .... over 12,000 K of memory usage according to Task Manager.

But now that AdMuncher has a lot of recommendations, I'm considering it .. how is it with memory usage? .... and does it have a lag?

I checked their site and they claim to use some process which does not cause a lag ... but I'd prefer to hear it from someone actually using the program

there is no lag at all and uses very little cpu and mem.It stops only un-wanted pop up. It is smart enough to know when you want a pop up and if something does not work like it should then it not that hard to make it work.

I was pleased with the Google toolbar when I used IE. I mainly just use Avant Browser or Opera which both have good pop up blockers in them. I don't want to start a browser war but there are alternative browsers that do a great job with pop ups, but for IE like I said, Google Toolbar worked great.
