Good Pop-up blockers ?

Vicious_2003 · Dec 15th, 2003, 09:20 PM

Id be greatful if any of you guys could guide me to a quality (Preferably free) pop up blocking program. My new comuter has allready been invaded. And its worse than beofore, now I get full screen pop-ups that disable my cumputer and warn of spyware. Thanks

Unless you visit certain types of websites where this kind of pop-ups are very common because, mixed with the website cloning technique, they generate a revenue with no efforts for the webmasters - I'm speaking of websites like online gambling, amateur XXX sites, but even freely hosted websites in general - the problems you are having are almost for sure caused by spyware installed on your system.

Try AdAware and Spybot, as they both work well (Spybot is better than AdAware, and seems more professional). You'll be surprised by the amount of bad stuff you'll find on your PC.

Oh man..I second that. That Gator crap is a leech on the internet community. It seems like every free program puts this thing on your PC too. I guess beggers really CANT be choosers
