I have tried several free pop up blockers (including one I had before) and the few I can now download won't install. Zero PopUp won't even download. Anybody have any ideas?

If these are "Messenger" pop-ups, they can be banished by enabling the XP
built-in firewall (which should be done anyway). See HELP & SUPPORT for
easy instructions.
If this is a program that has been inadvertently installed on your PC,
running ADAware may enable its removal. http://www.lavasoftusa.com
Read the instructions, download, install and run the program. The basic
utility is free. Or try Spybot from http://www.safer-networking.org/
If the pop-ups are site-related - the page that is being visited - then a
pop-up blocker may help. http://google.com Search for "ad blocker".
Or install and use a new-generation browser that has pop-up blocking,
such as the Mozilla suite from http://mozilla.org.
It will selectively block pop-ups and images, and is much more customizable
than I.E. For more, check in with these groups…

Alaric....
I have had the exact same problem here after running the same programs...... I fixed it by running a progam from 'my download directory' on my system...could be different on yours....it is created by CW Shredder....to remove the IE restrictions you/CW placed on your IE............and the name is..
IE_reset_restrictions.re
run this from your RUN command line and it will as if you really want to add this to the registry... just say YES and everything is back to normal......
BUT just incase...make a backup of your registry FIRST....as should always be done before messing with it anyway.... like we should have done be fore running CW Shredder......
hope this helps.

I tried Mozilla once and it started hijacking my searches from IE. I liked Mozilla but couldn't tolerate it's refusal to stay where I put it.
