    Hey people, I'm in desperate need of a popup blocker. It has to be free and not mess up my IE. Please post if you know of anything that might do the trick.

    AdsOff 2.02 was the one I used to use, but now it doesn't work so well and is incompatible with IE 5 and 6.

    Thanks,

    Darren

    I use Popup Stopper...free from Tucows, Download.com and probably a few others.

    Never had a problem with it although it's not smart enough to tell the difference between a popup and a second IE window so when it's running, if you want to open a second window, you have to hold down the shift key when clicking on the link.

    I use this Free browser , MyIE which has a built in pop up stopper . ( don't add , About Blank ,
    to your filter list )
    Uses very little resources ( No Add's ) & is as good as any other browser .
    Intergrates quitely into your system , does not take over . you can still run your normal
    browser , if you wish .

    Cancel the Chinese to English download box , it's now in English .

    Both Opera and Mozilla have settings to block pop-ups without the need for additional software.
