Pop up stopper - what's your choice

[caveman]

What do you think is the best pop up stopper. Can be fee, free or integrated into firewall.

[Steve H]

Zonealarm.

[obvious]

PopUpCop

also might be worth trying out the one built into the new google toolbar (beta)

[Nidge]

pop up cop for me too.

[bob_a_builder]

Latest ZoneAlarm wth web filtering too - great if you have kids with access to your PC/network

[yesman]

Pop up Killer (http://software.xfx.net/utilities/popupkiller/index.php)

[Defiant]

The only one I've ever used is the one on ZoneAlarm Pro and the inproved one on ZA Pro 4 is just gr8 :cool:

[Paul K]

Between ZAP and the new google bar I see no pop ups at all:)

[Stuart W]

I don't use a popup stopper per-sey, I have set up a Linux firewall / gateway (from www.clarkconnect.org) which has a nice transparent proxy which prevents popups.

I know it must work because I never see popups.

The only down side (if it is one!) is that you don't get to choose which popups are blocked. But I always see my PM popups, so I'm cool about it ;)

Zone Alarm

[Taf]

Opera Browser (built in) or the FREE Avant add-on for IExploder (www.avantbrowser.com)

Apple's Safari browser. Built in. Can't remember when I last saw a pop-up.

[Ramrod]

I'm using the one that is built into that google beta that sits in a taskbar under the IE taskbars. It seems to work fine, and its nice to have google to hand as well.

[Mark W]

[sir_drinks_alot]

google toolbar get's the job done for me

[Graham]

Netscape 7.1 has built in pop up stopping with the option to allow specified ones through. Works fine with Win 2k too.

[mart44]

Mozilla Firefox prevents them, so no other popup stopper is necessary.

[swoop101]

Google toolbar for me, dead good and dead easy. :tu:

[Richard M]

What's a popup? :pp

[Captain_caveman]

I use the one thats built into mozilla,
On the rare occasion I use IE I use the Dogpile toolbar

[hawkseye000]

google toolbar -> not one pop-up since

[mart44]

SP2 for XP includes an update for Internet Explorer that gives it a built-in popup blocker.
