Title: Popup Blocker Post by: Everous on July 30, 2003, 03:52:40 PM i've just installed XP...and after taking a brief look at Firebird, i realised there are some things that really annoyed me about it...
so i've decided to stick to IE 6.0...except theres no popup blocker...so if any of you have suggestions as to a good one, i'm listening...i've already tried adshield...which i found less than pleasing it dosen't have to be free or anything (though that would help)...just of really decent quality Title: Popup Blocker Post by: G1lbert on July 30, 2003, 04:10:31 PM Crazy Browser.
Title: Popup Blocker Post by: Everous on July 30, 2003, 04:26:28 PM erm...that installs a load of trash that i'll never need...it just makes IE a worse off version of Mozilla
i'm kinda looking for just a simple Popup Blocker...the less cluttered, da better Title: Popup Blocker Post by: G1lbert on July 30, 2003, 04:44:59 PM Actually, I'm switching between IE with adshield & just Crazy Browser. With the latter there are absolutely no pop-ups left. With the first, occasionally you'll have a pop-up (which you delete right away).. don't exactly see why you're not too pleased with it.
(I'm also using XP) Title: Popup Blocker Post by: Everous on July 30, 2003, 04:49:10 PM well for one they made a crippled version...and make you pay for a better one...which really pissed me off
and you have to manually update the block list...rather than them just detecting the popup...which won't work for certain popups...and gets plain annoying after a while Title: Popup Blocker Post by: G1lbert on July 30, 2003, 05:02:58 PM The crippled version's ok for me..
Title: Popup Blocker Post by: SS on July 30, 2003, 05:59:17 PM I've never used Crazy Browser before -- infact I've not even heard of it before this post -- but I can still tell you it is crap.
Title: Popup Blocker Post by: G1lbert on July 30, 2003, 06:13:28 PM Probably. Does the trick though (for someone who's not a computer-whizz)..
Title: Popup Blocker Post by: Everous on July 30, 2003, 06:47:32 PM i got "ad popup killer" installed...its blocked everything it should so far, is inobtrusive, very lightweight...and all round pretty nice...despite a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE icon :o
i only got it because it scored 100% on cnet...(only 7 people voted...but hey, not bad) and seemed to be what i was looking for... if anyone's got a better suggestion... Title: Popup Blocker Post by: RipperRoo on July 30, 2003, 09:24:38 PM Get a firewall, and use the built in one...
Title: Popup Blocker Post by: SS on July 30, 2003, 09:44:43 PM Firewalls have built in pop-up stoppers? :miffed:
Title: Popup Blocker Post by: MiNi_SmUrF_MaN on July 31, 2003, 12:00:01 AM my firewall does ;)
Title: Popup Blocker Post by: evilknight on July 31, 2003, 02:53:20 AM i had a firewall once, it was a McAffee firewall, worked like a charm
......then our 30 day trial ran out and my parents were to cheap to pay for it, so as of right now, my computer is carrying 13 viruses that it cannot cure. sux 2 b me Title: Popup Blocker Post by: MiNi_SmUrF_MaN on July 31, 2003, 04:54:51 AM just don't get norton internet security.
after my dad installed it on our old (and now broken computer) it messed everything all up and nothing works, which si why it's broken. <_< Title: Popup Blocker Post by: Filran on July 31, 2003, 09:03:49 AM Evil, I managed to kill all my viruses, but now I just got about 67 things of Spyware. :D

Title: Popup Blocker Post by: Everous on August 06, 2003, 11:59:26 PM nope, spybot always finds things Adaware misses...
