Anyone know of a good popup ad blocking software? I was using Popup Killer, but the thing was doing something to my explorer.exe causing all SORTS of problems. Any others out there that are small, system tray programs, that don't have spyware in them?

I use popup-killer from popup-killer.com. It isn't free, but it works very well.

been using popup killer for months on w2k and haven't had a problem with it.

I'm running 98SE, and I have.

Ok, enough with the comments about how "Popup killer works for me". It doesn't work for me, and I've verified it several times, and that is why I'm looking for an alternative. Thanks.

Did you even look at Webwasher?

Use Opera. I'm running Opera 6.0, and it has a setting called "Accept pop-up windows/refuse pop-up windows/open pop-up windows in the background". Gotta love this browser :D!

Yup, it's only a 30 day eval... not freeware

pop up stopper v2.6

LuDaCriS66, do you use this? I just checked it out, and it kills stuff like an AT Forum user profile popup window, and I don't see anywhere to configure it to allow specific windows.

POW

Been using this on Win98, NT4.0 and 2000

Checking this one out right now...

<< I also second Popup Stopper v2.6... available at download.com.

How do you stop it from killing valid popups? >>


If you hold down the CTRL key when you click, it will NOT kill popups on that click.

Ok, this is somewhat an aside to this issue, but does anyone store and play their MP3s from their C: drive? I'm just curious, because regardless of what popup killing program I use, whenever they detect a popup, the current MP3 playing skips while the program processes the window to determine whether or not to kill it. I have 512mb of memory and not alot of programs loaded, so I know it's not a memory issue.

btw: my browser is IE6

You need it for commercial usage? Look at the page. Free for home and education use.

I use Mozilla .97 for my main browser, and it has neat little options that allow you to limit javascript capabilities. For example, a simple checkbox allows you to ban popups... It works great!

That only works great if the user does not want any popups. Contrary to popular belief, not all popups are evil :)Q).

probably just a slow HD or processor.

Well its a P3-700, so it's not THAT old (seems like just yesterday that I bought it though... gotta love hardware). The hard drive is one of the first Western Digital 20GB drives so it's probably 5400RPM ATA33 or so.
