ontherock Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 I have Yahoo 5.5 toolbar on my PC. It claims to block pop-ups/adware/spyware but I still get inappropriate pop-ups everywhere. Is there something wrong with this toolbar? Is it even working? I also use Spybot and Ad-Aware along with it, but I still get those annoying popups. Please help. Thank you.

mistical Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Well if you still get popups I would suggest using another blocker. I've heard the google toolbar is great, so you might want to give that a try. You could also use Maxthon which has a built in popup blocker or Firefox as well. http://www.toolbar.google.com/ http://www.maxthon.com (formerly MyIE2) http://www.mozilla.org/firefox Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/236908-yahoo-toolbar-blocks-adwarespyware/#findComment-584822278 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still should download Adaware Or Spybot Search & Destroy to get rid of any "unwanted" junk floating around..

Xtreme $niper Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 My yahoo toolbar blocks plenty of stuff, but now I use Firefox so I use the yahoo toolbar for mozilla which doesnt have the fancy popup blocker and antispyware stuff. Yahoo does actually find some spyware and delete it (some things other programs dont find) but its not amazing.
