- Go to www.mozilla.org and download the "Mozilla Firefox" browser. This deals with pop-ups automatically, and almost never gets rid of ones you actually want to see. Doug

- Googles toolbar seems to do a good job at stopping pop-ups and is a freebie. It's another toolbar just like your address bar in Explorer.... When installed, you can set options concerning pop up and

- I'll agree with Greg and Paul. We install the Google toolbar on all our client machines (~500 PCs), it blocks popups very well. Never had a problem with it. Free and easy. Fred - you may also have a

- I have a lot of angst about that particular program. This is because the manufacturer of it is the same entity as the perpetrator of a lot of the pop-ups. So they are putting the garbage out there an
