Can someone please suggest a goodblocker of those annoying popup boxes that popup all the time? Half of them are for tools to stop the popups but I dont trust crap that advertises itself so shamelessly...not to mention in the way that it's supposed to stop.
So help, please?

Othello,
In addition to the above excellent suggestions for disabling "Windows Messenger Service" you might like to also take a look at the new "MSN Toolbar" that includes a popup blocker. The toolbar is compatible with Internet Explorer 6 and maybe others. Read more and download here:

Best of luck,

Google search engine has a toolbar you can download that has an excellent POPups blocker.

Thanks guys for the fixes.
Also, I already have used the Google toolbar for about a year and a half and am very happy with it.

Hi;
I'd like to ask, if anyone knows, does the Google toolbar have spyware? I've been very apprehensive to use it, or any of these downloadable tools because I have been quite suspicious about their use of spyware.
Thanks.
