Can anyone lead me towards a good shareware/freeware popup blocker? Google and Yahoo's popup blockers don't block all the sites that popup.
Thanks

Use the Firefox browser, it has a built-in pop-up blocker

Use Netscape and turn on pop-up blocking. Works like a champ for me.

Get the browser Mozilla Firefox, it has a built-in popup blocker that does better than 3rd party blockers.

Do a google search for:
Ad-aware (free)
Spybot (free)
Go to Microsoft.com and download their free anti-spyware (beta) - the link is on their homepage

Before I discovered Firefox browser, I used the Google Toolbar. Blocks popups very well and I had Google search right at my fingertips as an added bonus.

Two words: Firefox and Ad-Aware.
Go to: http://www.lavasoft.de/
and download the free Ad-Aware Spyware/Popup blocker. It is absolutely 100%. The newest updates have reduced (combined with Firefox Browser) pop-ups and spyware/malware worms on my PC to ZERO.
Read that again. Two months ago my computer was going mad and pop-ups were running my Internet. Now, they have been liquidated.

Lavasoft just released
Ad-Aware SE Build 1.05. I don't know if they'll be releasing definition files for Ver. 6.0 anymore.

Mozilla Firefox is the answer to your problem.

Postini used to work for me, I must have gotten on a list somewhere because it does not block but maybe 5% now
