Popups

[akarunway 1]

Starting yesterday I'm being bombarded w/ Microsoft Internet Explorer popups. HP nor AOL can help. Ideas anyone? Thanks

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

Stop going to porn sites?

Get the Google toolbar - it has a "popup stopper" that works great.

You could try:
Ad-aware
Spybot: search & destroy

I second the recommendation for http://www.panicware.com/

I've got Pop-Up Stopper Pro and it works perfectly. Absolutely perfect.

I haven't tried them, but http://download.cnet.com/ has quite a few pop up stoppers for download, as well.

Second reccomendation for the google tool bar. It works very well.

Get Opera. It has a built in pop-up stopper. So does Mozilla.

I use Proxomitron. Works great, however, this is the final version of the software, and there will no longer be updates. Its great, it kills everything, with lots of options... even gets rid of ads on webpages, which is super! (see screenshots).
Stops popups, ads, geocities ads, background music if you want it to, etc. If there is a specific graphic intensive webpage that loads really slow, you can make it block all images, etc. Its really smart about filtering webpages, but occasionally makes mistakes, but it runs in the taskbar, and you can just click 'bypass' to bypass it.
