I don't use it at the moment, but I was using Kill Pop Up, which can be found on download.com

It stopped any other Internet Explorer windows (apart from you primary one) opening up. E.G. if you were visiting a site and a pop up tried to open, it would not let it... but the draw back of this program, is if you are visiting a site and choose a link which needs to "open link in new window", it won't allow it to, unless you disabled it, which of course is pretty annoying...

Anyway.......

looks like a very rudimentary popup killer to me...

Well if it installs spyware then just run ad-aware 6 and it will remove it. I dont think it installs spyware on your comp but I could be wrong.

Im sorry to who ever made the comment on norton 2003, it is the best programme for virus related problems in my view.

It hasnt stopped any of my popups and i keep just getting more and more, we have nortons antivirus and nortons internet security (norton applications) and strill get popups.

NozzeR2003, have you activated the ad blocking of Norton? It isn't on by default.
I say that because it stops every single one of my popups. I'm pretty happy with it. (except for the fact that I think it's to much of a resource hog)

[NozzeR2003]

Yes i do have that activated, im not a newbie dont worry lol i was one of the first ones with kazaa and morpheus lol, thing is, i dusnt seem to block some of my pop ups, also pop ups keep getting saved in my programmes list for some reason, i have scanned through my computer looking for any addware accessing the net but cant find owt so i jus have to deal with it lol

im not a newbie

Sorry about that, didn't want to imply you are one...

Anyway, could you give an example of a site that it doesn't block.
I want to test different popup stoppers, 'cause I'm not happy with Norton as a whole due to that system slowdown.

My Norton internet Security Professional 2003 Firewall bloacks all pop ups B)

Stopzilla! takes no resources and does an excellent job of blocking pop-ups.

This is a good popup test page (though I don't recommend Popup Dummy, I recommend Popup Block)
Note that the 'Safe' popups should NOT be blocked by your popup killer!
