Popup blocker

[chairon]

I'm looking for a good and free popup blocker. Currenty I'm using PopThis
Pro, but it's not free :-( There is a free version but it has some bugs.
What I like about PopThis is that it doesn't run as a separate process and
it's not a toolbar. Could you recommend me any other popup killer that
integrates with the browser (IE 6.0), is not a toolbar and doesn't run as an
independent task and, what is most important, is FREE?

IE-SPYAD and hpHOSTS file and lock down IE with Enough is Enough from the
IE-SPYAD site.

Protection keys don't work. I don't claim it's never possible to disable
PopThis by holding the control key but I had problems with this. It is also
admitted by the author himself who says that this feature has been corrected
in the Pro version. As I said, I'm currently using the Pro version and so
far I haven't had problems with disabling PopThis so there must be something
about it.

I've been using Popup Manager, and it does a great job for me.

If your using IE6 then you may want to consider using MYIE2 browser
instead.As well as using the IE engine it has a built in popup and
ad/content blocker which works very well.This can be turned on off at click
of a button.Also the blocked ads popups can be viewed with click of a
button.

Just out of curiosity, why wouldnt you consider a toolbar addon?
Googlebar works great to block popups, and also lets you quickly search
the web.

I've been using EMS Free Surfer mk II for some time now. Easy to set
up and use. Easy to temporarily disable and has a couple of other
goodies built in.
