[m0l0t0v]

where can I get a good one?

I'd like to get ride of those annoying pop-up screens telling me to buy stuff I don't need...

thanks

Try ad-aware by lavasoft. It's freeware and it removes all spyware from your pc. Look it up on Google, good luck :)

Mozilla can block pop-up ads.

[Grazza]

Disable javascript. Works for me (tm).

Buy a mouse. With this you can get rid off any pop-up by clicking on the little x on the top right of the pop-up.

Phoenix.

The best software for that is Webwasher webwasher.com

It is free for private use.


You can also try proxomitron.org

which offers a rich set of setting, but this is more
for the expereinced users, fine if you would like to
set ip up on a server acting as LAN proxy

I know some looping spam sites that would just love to make your aquaintance...

Doesn't the new Kazaa Lite also kill pop-ups? If you install that little extra piece that comes with it?

What a brilliant idea! However, I'm sure he already has a mouse. :P

I have a cool concept for you: don't visit them.

I just turn off JavaScript for Netscape, and not a single popup pops up. However, there's still the banner ads. For those I use Atguard. I may have to uninstall and reinstall it every three weeks or so, but it's worth it. And if I need to use JavaScript to visit a site, I just use Internet Explorer.

[Fredrik]

If you use Mozilla, you can block most regular ads by adding stuff like this to userContent.css:

iframe,applet,embed,object { display: none; }
img[width="468"][height="60"] { display: none; }
img[width=468][height=60] { display: none; }

See 'Display Options', underneath the menu bar of the main page.

[Gokuma]

I normally use Opera with javascript, pop-ups, and maybe some other stuff disabled. I see maybe an ordinary banner here or there.

A few days ago I turned on my computer and found adzapper. I like it cause it works and it's free.

for gods sake get Pop Up Killer (PUK) and install it properly it's the only one worth bothering with. Go to download.com and look for it already

And there's a prime example why using a web browser that's integrated with the OS is RETARDED.

Tweak-XP works for me.

Yeah, the benefit of using Mozilla is that it runs so slowly that you can actually close it before anything untoward has had time to work.

In any case, Explorer.exe is not the same as Iexplore. Killing the Iexplore process in Task Manager would eliminate the problem that site timmie posted poses.

Or what I've done with my IE is to disable Active Scripting in the "Internet" zone. I modified the "Trusted Sites" zone to use the Medium default setting and add any site that needs Active Scripting to work to it.

I don't "Trust" any sites to go through my "Low" setting.

Good thing for me that I don't use Mozilla.

[Naked Snake]

Yeah, I use Mozilla, which is like 50000x better than IE.
