What is the best way to stop pop-ups??  Software??  I can't take it anymore.

I like the Google Toolbar. It stops most of 'em.

If you get use windows XP getting the Service Pack 2 from windows
updates should stop most pop-ups if you are using Microsoft Internet
Explorer.

Alternatively you could use Mozilla Firefox which is an Internet
Browser which stops pop-ups and has a lot of other features. I
personally prefer Firefox to any other browser.

Maxthon also stops popups, popunders, filters ads, filters content... etc.

Hi,

You can try the new Microsofts free AntiSpyware tool which can be downloaded from:

I tried that it detected all of them.

I switched to Firefox.  Wow, it's incredible.  Fast loading, no
popups, and you can browse in TABS!!  Only one Firefox open, and all
your windows are tabbed.  Very, very cool.  Plus, it's SECURE, because
it's not integrated with Windows.

I was used to it in less than a day and can say with certainty I will
not go back.  --It's painless, go ahead...

Hello,
For years i use MyPopupKiller wich is the smallest freeware pop-up
blocker on the internet (77Kb) and i never had pop-up problems.I can
be used with Ineternet Explorer,Netscape/Mozilla,MSN Explorer and
Opera + other options.As a secundary browser you can use as another
user(cynthia-ga) suggested Mozzila who has an integrated pop-up
blocker.As an aditional info there are some java scripts that look
like pop-ups but they cannot be blocked by any pop-up blocker.
Good luck,
Authentyk

I think you should probably get google toolbar. Not only will it stop
pop ups but it will also give you a quick search option.  In my
analysys your problem is not just pop ups from websites but also
spyware infecting your computer.  I suggest getting Ad-aware SE
personal for free from
http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10319876.html?tag=lst-0-1
.  It will help just be sure to keep the definitions updated.  This
will Stop most if not all of your pop-ups.  I only get like one popup
a week now.
