POP-UPs

I am looking for software that will delete the pop-ups that seem to be getting to be more and more. If someone has had some good luck with one, please post the URL for me to download the software. They are getting to be more getting very plentiful and I am really tired of having to delete them before I can even view the site. Thanks! msbooch

 

Look here.

 

No popups w Mozilla

Another approach, instead of adding a separate pgm to avoid popups is to use a browser that does not allow unrequested windows to open.

This is what Mozilla does (Mozilla, for those of you who don't know, is an open source FREE browser (Netscape 7+ is based on Mozilla 1.xx).

Download latest version from www.mozilla.org

It's only about 11Mb and does not come with lots of advertising junk like Netscape

Then from Edit -pulldown menu choose

Preferences
Advanced + key
Scripts and plugins

take check mark off for

unrequested windows to open
(the wording is pretty awkward -but it works)

Mozilla is faster than IE, and except for some specialized Java situtations (perhaps I haven't downloaded some special Java plugins) it is very compatible. Esp nice for former Netscape users.

 

I've used PopUpStopper for a couple years and it works very well.

It's fully operational freeware or if you want get even more features you can get a pro version for a price.

 

Meaya Poup Filter works well with
Explorer and both Opera and Mozilla have a built in Popup stopper that you can enable or disable up to you.
good luck

 

Thanks everyone. Now I won't have to look at these pesky thingies anymore.

 

I've tried Popup-Stopper and a couple of other freeware popup add killers and the one I like best is Proxomitron - http://proxomitron.org - It has a little bit of a learning curve but but once you set it up, it works automatically with no further input. It also offers the option of customizing the look and function of web pages.
