Hey,



So I tried doing a search for the thread where it was talked about, but couldn't find where someone mentioned something other than ad-aware as far as to get rid of pop-up programs. Ad-aware has solved all my PC's at work and mine at home but not my brother's. Does anyone know of a better one? Someone mentioned it before (And a website?)



As far as nopistons.com search engine....what's up with that? I get the same threads listed 4-5 times and you can't do a search of simply an authors name (unless I missed it) and the way it shows the results is organized yet not...?



Thanks in advance.

Spybot is the other one everyone uses. as far as pop ups from websites, googlebar works pretty nicely.

I used pop-up stopper Basic (Free) worked alright. but sometimes theres still one that will slip through. and then when you want something to pop up it'll block it every once in a while.

you could always switch to earthlink (I wish I could get paid for saying that)



They let you download a program called Elink Pop-up blocker, works like magic, no popups and if you want to open a pop-up windows, you just tripple click the link.



I would give you a link, but the programs requires a username/pw to use it.
