I use Ad Muncher on Internet Explorer. I get no pop-up ads ever, standard banner ads are eliminated, and most other ads as well. It gives you an ad-free internet, resulting in much faster downloading of web pages.
Isn't Ad Muncher Great? I don't know why some folks won't even trial it for the 30 day free trial period. It's clean and fast, doesn't pollute the registry or any other nonsense if you chose to delete it. Great little program. Turn it off sometimes and you'll be amazed and alarmed at what some people see the internet as. It's frightening.
