Anybody know a good pop-up blocker because the one I have its too weak and it made my computer really slow.
The browser I use is FireFox. It blocks popup messages in addition to having fewer exploits than Internet Explorer. Check it out here: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
*just as a side note*: B0mber, you might want to start using the edit button instead of doubling up on posts…it makes the boards a lot neater and a lot easier to read. Plus the mods seem to like it that way. Just hit
next time you need to correct or add something to a post, okie?And I’ve heard that secretmaker is nice if you can handle it
and Pop Up Blocker 6.0 Also.Of course, I don’t use either, or anything really…but I’ve heard those are nice.
If you are running Windows XP and want a pop up blocker all you have to do is down load SP2 it has a pop of blocker.
But if you want to block the ads that you see when you use yahoo chat then down load ytunnelThey all good:)don’t know which one to pick thought:D

I agree with BuddhaSmile… I use Firefox as my browser with the Yahoo companion toolbar and so far have had NO unwanted pop-ups, and it doesn’t block the ‘good’ pop-ups that you want to see. Plus I like Firefox a LOT better than IE.
Maxthon, a shell for IE (http://www.maxthon.com) also has a built in popup blocker.
I’d use FF if it’s tabbing system wasn’t so bad.

I second that motion; I’m a regular user of Maxthon, and I love it. No popups ANYWHERE, unles you want ’em, of course…;)
i recently just switched to firefox, like this past weekend, and I really enjoy the pop-up blocker. if there is a site you like going to, you can always set the settings to allow pop-ups from certain sites.

How old is your comp?
None of them make your computer slow, unless it is extremely underpowered or adware ridden to begin with.
Use google toolbar for Internet Explorer. Or if you want to actually experience the web without having your system infested with spyware, try using Firefox.
