    What pop-up blocker do you use?

    I just want the best, simple, no-frills one out there. I don't need a search bar with it, I don't need any of that crap. Just a good blocker.

      I tried it, I didn't really like it.

      I need one for IE, not really interested in switching browsers.

          I use the google, but I don't think it has blocked anything in a few weeks. It's generally a very good pop-up blocker, but not lately.

                  How 'bout computers? You could get a Mac, that would solve your problem permanently. :)

                  j/k, one of the mac users on this board had to throw that in there. ;)

                    What doesn't work? I've been running the google toolbar for well over a year and it works fine. If you're getting tons of popups with it, than most likely you've got a heap of spyware programs installed, sending up popups without any regard to a webpage.

                      Agreed charlie

                      at first the tool bar said " bonk" " bonk" but I run adware more often now and I only get occasional popups.

                      You can also turn off JAVA so what if you miss a few naked girls on the free sites just go to the next one.

                        or get "pop up blocker (or stopper, i forget)" from www.download.com" works great

                              stop spelling retarded wrong.

                              I don't use a pop up blocker, but I generally don't go to sites that have pop ups either.
