edlib Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 These are all free: Ad-Subtract SE There is also a for-pay version, which is undoubtably better, but I'm cheap and this works good enough for me. I do hate web advertising, but not enough to spend a lot of money to get rid of it. They do bug you to upgrade A LOT though, so be prepared. It does get most of the most common banner ads. WebWasher A bit tricky to set up, but does stop almost all the ads the other one misses, as well as most pop-ups, redirects, and unwanted script trickiness. Can be problematic with some sites though. Ad-Aware Kills spyware. A must-have if you value your privacy. Spybot Search & Destroy Ditto, although it can also be setup to erase browser history files, cookies, Media Player histories, etc. Also a bit tricky to set up at first, but it does find spyware that AdAware sometimes misses. Pop-Up Stopper Dedicated pop-up/ under killer. I only use it when WebWasher won't work with a site and I have to turn it off, but don't want to be bothered with pop-ups. Zone Alarm Firewall A personal firewall. Don't surf the web without it. !WARNING! Use of these products (WebWasher and AdSubtract) can slow down your connection a little bit, since these things work by way of a proxy server. I'm on cable and I don't notice it much, but that seems to be the biggest complaint with these things. Personally, I'll wait an extra second or two for a page to load if I don't have to stare at a dozen flashing animated ads, or spend 30 seconds closing pop-up windows. But for some people that's too long to wait. To each his own, I guess. You have been warned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
