Darth Homer Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Ok, I need some suggestions...the pop killer I have doesn't seem to be working now, I just wanted to get some input from all of you about what I should try or what I should avoid...besides that dastardly noid. *shakes fist* I'll get you Noid!! Oh, uh, what was i doing? oh yeah...pop-up killers, which is best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlashAndBurn Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Oh man....now I want to know how many people got the Noid referance. Back on subject...what one do you use? MY problem with them is that a lot of sites I use, like Hotmail use popups as ways to open atachments. Are there any blockers out there that can be customized so only popups from certain sites are allowed in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacco Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 You could call your internet provider about spam and pop ups and they could most likely to block most pop ups. That is what I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 I use Webwasher: http://www.webwasher.com/en/products/wwash/downloa1.htm?submit=I+agree It's totally free for home use, and blocks all popups, as well as most banner ads as well. Check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Homer Posted January 12, 2003 Author Share Posted January 12, 2003 this webwasher works great! thanks! Had to play with it a bit to get the right settings to block ads, but still let the Yahoo Launchcast player come up, but I got it down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 No prob! I can't come here anymore without it. I've noticed that a few sites freak out when it's on, but it's easy enough to just click the icon to stop the filtering and then refresh the page,.. and that works most of the time.

Sherack Nhar Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Oh WOW! So clean... SO CLEAN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygomaticus Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 Sometimes blocking popups will prevent you from viewing certain websites or certain forums' private message boxes...but that's all your preference I tend not to go to websites with loads of popups - this one is the worst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 Are pop-ups really that big of a pain the the rear end? I even think I saw a pop-up for a "pop-up blocker!!" I jus think that is stupid.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfmanNCSU Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 I use the pop up killer that is included in tweak xp. If one ever gets by it, then I can just add it to the list. Works pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
