I dont need it my router and firewall take care of that. But a few people i work with dont want to take that route, so im wondering what ones u guys like the best.
 
the only one i have ever used is surfpal and it worked great for me

im not using one now though
 
Google's toolbar has a popup blocker that works very well.
 
My google bar doesn't seem very good at blocking popups...maybe it's outdated...
 
If you use internet explorer I am pretty sure you need to have 6.0 for the pop-up blocker to work.
 
lol, also while ur at it get cydor :X , google p4wns all other tool bars just for the fact google is legit and doesnt need to cram it with spyware.
 
yea i just tried google toolbar and i like it so far
 
lol, everyone's converting
hmm including myself when s8 mentioned it for the first time
 
Google is the best I was 4th 2 say it.
 
i'm last to say it now that i just installed it....it took me about a minute to download and install it and it hasn't had any problems since...gotta love it

I don't see how a router can take care of popups.
 
Well, a router won't take care of browser popups, but many people still call Messenger spam popups, because they still pop up on the screen.
In that particular instance, a router will stop those because it's blocking the NetBIOS ports by default, preventing the Messenger spam from reaching your PC.

However, for clarification, in the common tongue, Messenger spam != popups.

And put me in as the nth vote for the Google toolbar. Works great, adds decent functionality, small footprint, and is effective.
