Internet Explorer Pop Up Stopper plugin
I've just tested Internet Explorer on one of these browser test sites and in its present state Internet Explorer only passed 4 tests out of nine.
I'm therefore trying to find a popup stopper plugin....preferably freeware...to kill off pop up ads when I'm using Internet Explorer.
I was using KillAd for this but I got that a while ago and I'm sure that there will be a better one out there.
Any info greatly appreciated.TIA.

Wait a couple more months, and pop-up stopping will be incorporated into XP Service Pack 2. Until then, the Google bar is reckoned to be quite good at stopping pop-ups.

Re: Internet Explorer Pop Up Stopper plugin
I definitely recommend the Google Toolbar. The fact that you also get a Google search box in the browser bar is an added bonus

Re: Internet Explorer Pop Up Stopper plugin
Google toolbar is superb. I did have PopUp Stopper but it wasn't good.

Re: Internet Explorer Pop Up Stopper plugin
well, I was going to jump in here and recommend the Google toolbar, but seeing as everyone in the entire universe got here before me, I'll make an alternative suggestion:
Ditch skanky IE and get a decent browser like Mozilla Firefox, which allows you to customise your browsing experience to extremes, if you so choose ... including pop-up stopping, naturally.

Re: Internet Explorer Pop Up Stopper plugin
if you use software such as norton's internet security, it has an inbult pop up stopping feature, also you could wait for windows xp service pack 2 (if your on xp) when internet explorer will have its own pop up stopper
