What's the best free Pop-Up Blocker?

[Yesspaz]

Hey all you computer-smart types! What is the best free downloadable pop-up blocker? Specifically, the one that would interfere with the least number of other programs?

Thanks, the Yesspaz.

I use EMS Free Surfer MK2 on one of my home PC's and both EMS and AOL's Pop-up blocker on my other one. Also, I use yahoo's at work. All work OK with some plusses and some minuses. So far, I prefer EMS. Any of them is better then getting endless pop-ups.

AOL's in built pop up blocker works well for me and it's easy to configure.

I also run "Spyhunter" (You can download it from the net) before I log on. OK, it takes a while but the improvememnt to my system has been amazing.

I used to use SpyHunter, but it interferes with CovenantEyes. So I had to get rid of it and that's why I was looking for another. Been using the Google one suggested above. It's working quite well so far...

Yea its pretty good!!!I would use it but im using zone alarm pro which has its own pop up blocker.

Yesspaz...............try AdAware v 6.

Available as a free download at:

I was still having a few problems but this has fixed them all.

Adaware is a great program.You would be surprised how much crap people try and put on you computer without you knowing!!!!

[roger]

well, you can always use Mozilla, or get a mac and use Camino . pop-up blocking is built in...

hey yesspaz-
(don't i know you from "yesfans"?)

having just too damn much time on my hands,
i discovered that an address can be obtained
from most popups by R clicking.
i'm an audio expert, so i had to find a way
to remove this other than adding another program
running(sonar recommends ditching norton,ect.
for optimal performance, latency problems).

aprox. 95% of popups originate from
a single company, one www.clickspring.com,
which when traced, turns up a cover
daily horoscope site w/ a privacy statement
they "plan to implement in the near future"
to protect their asses.

i picked up an adware, mine was "purityscan"
(there's over 40, the MS "help" file, which is no help,
lists them.)while browsing ebay for a chapman stick,
but kazaa, porno sites, are famous for infecting computers.
you'll find that norton is unable to remove them,
as technically, they show 0 content-
i.e. "nothing to remove".

the barrage of popups that are usually
followed w/ a "stop popups forever"
are from the popstopper company.

R click the S.P.U.F. popup. add the address to
"blocked sites/addresses" in IE.
you'll find that the cookies still accumulate,
but the visuals don't make it through.

find the adware program, usually attached to
the registry. R click, "find containing folder".
it usually can't be removed, but....
it can be renamed! erase the title and type
some crap in. run norton, ect. you'll find it's gone.

i hope this helps.
