It will mess up some other things, but you can stop it by turning Java off...

Why would someone want a program to stop pop ups? The day I wake up without a popup is the day I know Im old and need viagra.

Mozilla allows you to stop most pop ups , I believe Opera does too.

www.mozilla.org

YOu might want to get Adaware too, that cleans out all the spy ware on your computer

I blame carpotunnel syndrome on those God-awful pop-ups. chainsaw


U have 2 click out of those things at least 20 times a day, in my experience. It's fucking annoying, and most of it comes with the spyware in kaZaA. I do have Lavasoft Ad-Aware but it isnt enough. sad

I tried it but it caused more work than the popups.I had to scroll pages and some pages would not open properly.

certain pages on the internet = porn sites.

Stop visiting porn sites and this problem will magically disappear!

I use Pop-Up Ad Killer by Meaya

http://www.meaya.com


I'm not going to explain how to do it, because thats illegal, lol. But I've heard of people downloading a 'crack' for this program to break the time limit on it.


Its a little bit more intelligent in blocking pop ups. If you click a link/button on a page that it supposed to open a new window, it will allow it to pop up, but it blocks all the pop ups that you dont want.
