Hey,
I use the Google Toolbar - its about 99 percent effective (blocks all onLoad popups and most server called popups) - I personally realy like it. It also comes with a google search bar - a nice feature.

Also, keep in mind that MS Internet Explorer 6 SP2 is trying to incorporate an optional pop-up blocker. This should come out some time soon.


Hope that helps,
kram

Panicware's PopUpStopper does what I need.

If you have any problems logging on to secure sites,such as online banking this pop up stopper can cause that so just bear it in mind..I removed it for that same reason.

There are instructions on how to open secure sites that you need with Popup Stopper.
I use Popup Stopper with IE6 only, otherwise I use Opera and Firebird browsers with the built-in popup stopper.

Cool

I'm a big Google search engine fan and big user. I have used the Google popup stopper, but I do believe Panicware has the best popup stopper.

I think you can try Avant Browser. The popup blocker attached to the tool bar of it is good. When surfing the Internet, you don't have to worry about the annoying popups.

I also have to say you should get the Google Toolbar from www.google.com. Not only is it effective at blocking almost all popups, its a search engine right in your browser!

I've been using the Firebird browser for awhile now and have yet to get a single popup. I've heard the Google toolbar is good too though. You can download the Firebird browser by going to THIS LINK Oh, BTW, if having the Google search in your toolbar is one reason you would think about using the Google toolbar instead of Firebird...Firebird has a Google search field incorporated into its bar also.
