Pop-up stoppers
« on: October 16, 2003, 04:18:16 PM »
Are there any pop-up stoppers for IE and OS 9.1 . I know Netscape 7 has a built in pop up stopper, but I like to use IE 5.1.7 most of the time. thanx.gif

These shareware programs are supposed to do what you ask, but how well they do it, I dunno.

Pop Up Zapper http://batista.org/product.html

No Pop Ups http://www.amalthys.com/nopopups/

Unpopular http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo...fo/macosx/16451

Perhaps if you try them, you can post back your findings???

I use the two of them and don't get any pop-ups at all...

Every time i use IE or Netscape, they seem to do to pop, snap until you the user crackle up... Devilish2.gif

You might want to check out Hostal. It will continue to work for you when you move to X. It simply modifies/edits/creates a new host file listing blocked addresses. That will still require you to 'see' a popup and then get the address for it. Just downloaded a new version (1.3.1) that may be more automatic.
