FORGET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reading most of your post (i didn't bother to read all of
the rubbish that you spat out) i can just say that you
are a very sad person. The people that help in this
newsgroup do a bang up job and have provided a service
2nd to none. They have helped me on every occassion,
maybe if you weren't so impatient and pigheaded you would
get a reply and an answer to your question.

Have you tried "Popup Manager".. I too tried a LOT of pop
up killers and found that all of them fained quite often.
After I loaded this one they ALL stopped. I have not had
ONE that managed to make it through. It's a free one and
you can get it at:
www.endpopups.com

It is pretty neat too in that it causes a small colord bar
to appear in the browser window that tells you hwat it is
doing. It allows anypopup that you initiate but no others,
so if you click on a link that causes a popup it shows, but
not otherwise..

Anyeway, my .02 worth.. hope it helps

yeah but im after a popup killer that also blocks banner adverts too,
scroll adverts, porno adverts etc.

plus i using AdSubtract Pro.

it used to block nearly all adverts but now it has started to show some
that werent shown before.

After reading your message I can understand the headaches
you have run across. As you know there are tons of popup
killer programs on the net and the one that I use is popup
killer. I have been using this for about 2 months. I would
say that it stops about 99% of popups that I have asked it
to stop.

The thing is that as these type of products hit the
market, the makers of popups are finding ways around these
programs. It is part of the Internet and will continue for
quite awhile.

Being in the IT industry, the consumer is always looking
for a cheap way to stop certain things that happen which
is sometimes beyond the control of Microsoft and AOL. If
the consumer wanted all of this protection, it would seem
to me that he/she would buy what is needed to prevent
these events..ie spam, popups, hackers. All of these could
be prevented with a very simple firewall.

All it takes is a little of your free time that everyone
has. If you believe paying up to $30.00 a month for
Internet access grants you the right to complain to
Microsoft or AOL for a silly popup. Maybe you should read
reports on what these ISP's pay to develop spam, junk mail
and stop hackers from gaining access to your computer in
general. How can you compare $30.00 to hundred of
thousands of dollers spent each year. But of course the
consumer has the right to complain to news groups and
companies because people are to lazy or cheap to buy a
firewall, spam filters, junk filters and a descent popup
killer program.

I ask you WHY in return

I'm using "Pop Up Blocker and Ad Killer for Kazaa", it works quite ok.
It says it is make especially for Kazaa, but it deals with ordinary
Internet Explorer pop-ups that you get when surfing the web and the
grey Messenger Service popups.
