forget the popup stoppers, get AdAware and Spybot - then scan for spyware

if you are STILL getting a ton of pop-ups, get the Google toolbar (with built-in pop-up stopper), or switch to Mozilla Firefox.

I definitely recommend Firefox. Screw the Google Toolbar - go Firefox! :D

I've got Google Toolbar. It stops a lot of pop-ups but some still get through. I scan my comp. with AVG Antivirus and Ad-Aware every week. Both are free so download the free versions and run them. They detected and got rid of several Trojan Horse virus's that were running on my computer.
I used to have major problems with pop-ups but after downloading those 2 programs my pop-ups occurences have been pretty scarce.

It's also possible that you may have a virus on your computer.

Why would you want to stop pop-ups? Pop-ups are the best!:D
