Popup Killer Utility for IE?

Hal Courtney · January 5th, 2002, 10:15 AM

Pop up windows have gotten outrageous in the last 6 months. I've tried several shareware utilities that did not work well. Anybody know of anything to get rid of these maddening little buggers? I'm running XP Home and IE 6.

Thanks,
Harold

Good popup ad filter. I use it on XP without any problems.

I use PopUp Killer too when I know I'll be going to a site with tons and tons of popups. Popups suck.

<a href="http://www.webwasher.com" target="_blank">www.webwasher.com</a> - gets rid of popups, banners, rogue scripts, cookies - and you can configure it to ignore certain sites if you want. I won't surf without it anymore and you can't beat the price. Free.

When will Microsoft get with the times and add a "Disable popups" option?
