0 lawtai Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 I've found free surfer to be a good pop-up stopper. It's free too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 martijn Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 I've found Zero popup to be very effective (no popups ever). Although I assume these products don't differ much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Hypercube Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 Proxomitron is also very good as screening out ads ... it also screens out other things like animations too. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 neo1980 Posted July 26, 2002 Author Share Posted July 26, 2002 well most of these dont work as i desire them to be...for instance if u go into the CNN.com site and do the poll, when u press submit , a new windowopens up showing the result, but the pop up stoppers stop that as well, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 nWo4100 Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 I love and HIGHLY RECOMMEND Meaya Popup Ad Filter 1.1. It's the best. I've tried many popup blocker software and none of them come close to Meaya. Meaya Popup Ad Filter Official Site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 RenaissanceMan Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 I use Pow!, from Analog X...You have to tell it which pop-ups to close, but I'd rather deal with this than have it close pop-ups on websites that use them legitimately (For uploading and for online banking).

0 mudvayne mafia Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 I know everyone who surfs the web daily alot like myself, hates popups,advertisments,etc, and stuff like that. I just want a program that kills popups, and all that,...any suggestions anyone.? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ghost Cloud Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 I use proxomitron and pop up stopper together. I would also recommend adfree, it blocks banners. The proxomitron works great. This the features for proxomitron. Stop or limit Pop-up windows Control MIDI music and other sounds Freeze animated .GIFs - load only the first frame Kill most all advertising banners Stop Web-Branding and other scripts added by web space providers Stop Pop-up alert/confirm boxes Remove slow web counters Stop web pages and ads from "auto-refreshing" Remove Dynamic HTML Prevent getting stuck in someone's frames Remove frames or tables altogether for that matter Kill or change selected Java scripts and applets Add your own scripts to pages! Remove or replace web page and/or table background images Stop Status bar scrollers Unhide URLs obscured by status line text Convert blinking text to bold Remove Layers and Style sheets Automatically re-write or redirect URLs Create lists of sites to block or allow Create similar lists for just about anything else And as they say, much, much more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Mozart Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 I've tried all of the mentioned programs and most work well. But give this a try: Adshield http://www.adshield.org/ Adshield is: -free -automatically blocks unwanted scripted popups -lets you surf normally -allows you to block images with just a right click -lets you build your own ad block list or download a pre-made list -gives you full control Adshield: -does not run at Windows startup -does not sit in the system tray -does not beep or flash when working -does not run as a proxy -does not eat up resources for breakfast If you have ever tried Mozilla and like it's popup and ad filtering, wait till you try this. I tested it at all the main popup test pages with excellent results.
