kamui Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 If you use IE, you can download the Google toolbar which contains an easy to use popup blocker. Anyway, even without the blocker I couldn't live without the toolbar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chose pop up stopper...takes forever to drop the box after it has stopped a pop up...so if waiting to do something is a real hassel. Will get rid of it and try goog..tommorrow. Thanks. Most of the free one are only so for 10-15 days then pay heaps IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 you could always switch to a decent browser such as Mozilla or Firefox that has one built in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonychang Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 stumbled across this the other day while downloadin realplayer for my dad.He hates pop ups so I've added this to his system and now he can listen to the radio and surf the net without pop ups, what a result.

coops Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Google bar with IE is good, Opera with built in pop up stoppers, cookie management and the rest is even better.... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Radley Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Hi, Looks like you've had your browser hijacked. I saw someone the other day who managed to clear 'Intelligent Explorer' using Ad-aware and Spybot Search & Destroy. So it might be worth a try using these two.

think_too_mut Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 >WOW.....No more pop-ups! While using only my home PC, about 10 months ago I downloaded then recommended pop-up stopper. Free. All the pop ups stopped until...the stopper became a real menace, popping up randomly, asking me to pay the fee for using it, sending me emails... Deinstalled it. 7 months ago, at the work PC, a pop up stopper came with the BabelFish translator from AltaVista. It has an icon on the upper bar of the IE browser but I did not notice when it installed and switched on itself. As expected, in a corporate environment, no pop-ups anyway. All of a sudden, my Internet banking would not work. I could not figure out why it stopped working, it had worked 3 days ago. The pop-up stopper blocked my bank's pop up screen for id, password, etc. Now, I keep it operational but when going banking or something does not work as it should, I just klick it off. Only pop-ups from CNN and AOL Messenger still go through, but only the leading ones. Once clicked off, they don't come again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
