I use google tool bar, it has lots of handy things, auto fill etc, it has a good pop up blocker, and best of all its free

As above Firefox, never get them ever now.
Much better than Internet Exploder

I haven't seen a pop-up in years ---Firefox even better with the AdBloc Plus add on installed.


Beware any free pop blockers that aren't truly free under the GPL or similar license as many contain spyware or are "hostage ware".

I've just got XP with IE7 patched up to date, no google toolbar, and I very rarely get a popup, like maybe one a month.

Firefox - now overtaken Enternit Ixploder as the most popular browser... I wonder why?

I went from IE to Netscape to Firefox in a finally successful bid to end the popups. Firefox rules! (and it's free, with daily updates, too!)
