www.mozilla.org Download and install it. After install finishes, follow these steps to disable popups: ===================== Edit... Preferences... Advanced... Scripts and plugins... Uncheck "Open unrequested windows" Ok ==================== Then, get really smart and further protect yourself, follow these steps to keep spam companies from dropping cookies on you... =================== Edit... Preferences... Privacy & Security... Cookies... Check "Ask me before storing a cookie" Ok ==================== When you see ezboard prompting for saving a cookie, accept that one (put a check in the box so it will always remember for additional cookies). When you see something that isn't EZ Board asking to set a cookie, don't allow it. If the box is checked you won't see any annoying cookies on your hard drive any longer. Using mozilla is the single best way to kill popups without using an extra application to kill popups. the only other was I know of that is as surefire is to blackhole the pop up ad companies via a hosts file. I can post more about that one if folks are interested. I personally use both Mozilla and blackhole ad companies with a hosts file and never get popup ads. |

Popup Ad Filter I don't know if you're limited when you're just using the shareware version, of course I cracked it within a minute of installing it. It's probably not limited, dunno for sure though, didn't bother to read the readme's Though it's probably worth the money if you got plenty of it. |

![]() The Proxomitron not only stops pop-ups, but also strips banner ads, tower ads, etc. etc. Easy to configure, lightweight, and very very nice. I'd give you a link but I'm lazy, just google for proxomitron. |

![]() Why am I talking about cookies (or really, worrying about with regard to pop-up ads) ? Do a little reading at: www.ciac.org/ciac/bulletins/i-034.shtml Specifically here:
Sorry, I will stop now before I get this port scooted into R&F land. It's just frustrating when I get into work and have 50 new email messages, 45 of which are spam (and thats not even an email account I give out!). |

![]() www.bayden.com/popper/ Get this one, it KICKS ass. It will automatically block all popups from any site, or allow any you want, no long blacklists to mess with. MUCH better than the PopUpKiller I used to use. Now, for cookies and spyware etc..., get this: www.techtv.com/screensave...19,00.html It's better than AdAware. |
