Firefox gets rid of most pop-ups.

Can be downloaded from Firefox.org I believe;):)

I usually use FireFox to load pictures and etc, I guess I'll have to start using FireFox as a normal browser. "/ But I like Internet Explorer and I need a new popup blocker, any ideas? :(

You may not be getting the popups from websites. Possibly adware.
If you don't have a good adware program I suggest you get one. But go on www.download.com and search popup blocker.

Firefox literally pwns... you will get the odd pop up here and there, but it is so much better than IE.

But stick with FireFox. Much more security and popup blockers! Believe me, if you use FireFox for about a day you will be blow away!

HEY THAT RYHMES!

The one i use is the Yahoo one :s it seems to do the job for me and i can set to allow popups from specific sites and it always shows a banner on top when it blocks of a popup and will give you an option if you want to allow it :)

Well, I downloaded SafeGuard Popup Blocker 8.0 off www.download.com (http://www.download.com) since it was most downloaded and recommended, so wish me luck. Thanks for your suggestions!

Or you're clever, you click tools // popup blocker // settings // set the filter or w/e to high. doesnt let any popups through.

I don't have popup blocker under my tools. And the SafeGuard isn't working, guess FireFox for me. :(

Yeah, firefox. Its perfect, Internet Explorer litterally has nothing thats better than it. Other than for compatibilty reasons, theres almost no reason to use IE over Firefox.

Firefox/Google Toolbar. On Macs use Popup Blocker on Safari!
