    These are driving me crazy. I have found plenty of outfits that claim to be able save me, but do any of you have a tried and true favorite?

    Thanks

        I use SurfPal from PanicWare.

        It has more features than just stopping pop-ups.

        They have a smaller (cheaper) program called "Pop-Up Stopper".

        Their technology is great. If I click a link on a page which opens all new links as new windows (aka MURC forums) it lets it through. But popups (even "click here and get a little javascript popup") get blocked. It's customizable (allow domain X to pop-up), and has various levels (like allowing throuhg those previously mentioned javascript popups WHEN you click).

        Kicks ass. Couldn't live without it.

          I 've been using WebWasher for a couple of year now.... it's free (for home users), highly customizable and gets the job done.

            The Proxomitron, it's free, looks a bit crappy (by default*) but you can configure it to do just about anything..

            *Check "Don't use textures" under Config - Visuals.

                Ad-Aware also works pretty well. It found over 100 such little presents in one of my systems on the first run.

                  If you run Mozilla you can go to preferences -> advanced -> scripts and windows then uncheck various scripts such as "open unrequested windows".
