Well, it won't be long before pop up ads get the protection that TiVo, the RIAA and MPAA are clamoring for their commercial ads . . . but until then . . .
Have you tried the Google Toolbar . . . Mozilla's Firefox browser . . . XP Service Pack 2 . . .? |

What would we be convicted of if we attacked someone walking out of CompUSA with this tucked under their arms?

i use netscape (mozilla is my backup) and have no problems whatsoever.
i also try to advise all my family and friends to not use IE for security purposes.

I used it with IE, and I still use it with FireFox. If I think something particular in a web page is "broken" or "missing" because of how the Proxomitron handled it, then only a couple mouse clicks are required to bypass the proxy server until further notice. |

Mozilla / Firefox here too, and then to block the windows messenger popups I use Linux and FreeBSD.
Also I make a mental note of which sites try to open the most popups... |

I'm running Windows XP, and I recently installed the -free- Service Pack 2 CDROM. It also included the new Windows Explorer 6.0 that contains a Pop Up blocker. No Pop Ups since then.

I'm using the pop up blocker on the XP update too and it is working really well. I have have a spyware sweeper program that is supposed to block stuff too, so with them both on I don't get pop ups anymore.

firefox
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ besides a very effective popup blocker it also has many more features and than IE. mouse gestures is just one bonus that is very convenient. also use thunderbird for e-mail - excellent junk mail control!

Beside popup's XP is slow, pick up spyware and crashes so get Firefox and end the IE dynasty.
