    Is there a free popup blocker for IE that actually works?
    « on: August 29, 2009, 05:26:23 PM »
    I've been looking for one for the longest,but the ads are still showing up. I know about Firefox and their wonderful Adblock Plus. Is there any legit ones for IE that are free? Please help.

    P.S. IE's "popup blocker" doesn't work.

            I'm using IE8. It's an ad blocker that I need. Do you know of any free ad blockers that are free and simple to use?

              Free adblocker? Firefox+AdBlockPlus. Solves your problem and a major flaw with your computer, Internet Explorer.

              Not crazy about the site however for IE you may want to Check This Out...

              Disclaimer: I have not personally tested this method out...since i very rarely use IE but it was in my notes...

                Actually,I just downloaded that about an hour ago! It doesn't work that well. Maybe I have to restart my computer first. I want it to block You Tube,but it's not on the list that it's blocking. I will restart and see what happens.

                As I said earlier, you're not going to find a GOOD free ad blocker

                Block youtube ads? As in the videos? Not going to happen with any adblocker I think. Even blocking google ads doesn't work.
