hi. i'm a new member. i need help with blocking pop-ups. i paid for zone alarm last year but got rid of it because i was so frustrated with how hard it was to use. i have the google toolbar but it's not enough. any recs for free or inexpensive downloads for this and spy prevention. thanks.

I'm wondering also, I some how got connected to something that's giving me a million popups, I have Norton and tried Stopzilla, but it is not working.

This is what I use and it works great. http://toolbar.google.com/

I used the pop up stopper from Panicware, but I think the google one is better and more user friendly.

You maybe have spyware on your computer.

Adaware

Spybot

Scroll down to find the download. It is free, but you see the donate thingie first.

I have the google toolbar and it works GREAT for blocking popups! You need to get rid of the spyware first, though.
