Tired of POP-UPs ??? Try THIS !View MessagesViewing posts 1 to 18 of 18 messages posted.
Those anoying POP-UPs.......... NO MORE! “For those of you that can't stand one more pop-up window while you're surfing the web, there's relief...go to www.panicware.com and download the FREE version of Pop-up Stopper (under the DOWNLOAD tab at the top of the page). It only takes a few minutes but you MUST restart your computer upon installation. I did it about 6 months ago (version 2.2) and it made a big difference but lately I'd noticed that I was getting more and more pop-ups, especially on some of my most frequently visited sites. I went back this morning and downloaded the newest version (version 2.9) and it works like a charm! So far, not one pop-up in the last hour. There were some sites I was ready to stop going to simply because I couldn't stand the pop-ups any more. This is completely FREE and I've never gotten any junk mail from them. I have seen this product raved about in many PC magazines and Q&A tech columns. However, this won't stop that blasted blinking neon flashing sign at the top of THIS page, but, it should stop most of the pop-ups on other sites. Sgt.Rock's site drove me NUTS with all the pop-ups !!!! Hopefully, this will help most of us.” 3:06:21 PM 9/09/02 “I second this recommendation. I've been using this for at least that long, and it works like a charm. It's especially useful when surfing porn at work in small windows.” 3:08:03 PM 9/09/02 “i liked it better when he said dumb thigs about hiking.....” 3:08:59 PM 9/09/02 “LMFAOOOOOOO!” 3:10:21 PM 9/09/02 “All right, TJ, you're on the road to redemption...” 3:14:40 PM 9/09/02 “ok I downloaded it. So what do i get to do to you if this does not work???” 3:27:33 PM 9/09/02 “pop ups suck! pop tarts are WAAAYYY tastier!” 4:01:39 PM 9/09/02 Private for Maple . .. . “( you can tie me up and make me squeal like the PIG that i am )!!!!!” 4:10:18 PM 9/09/02 “You could just get an os that works... er sorry - couldnt help myself!!” 5:37:43 PM 9/09/02 “What about a program to stop flashing ads? My old version of Pop-Up Stopper seemed to stifle them but the newer version lets the fukkers through.” 5:51:15 PM 9/09/02 “Pop-up gnads suck!” 6:01:19 PM 9/09/02 “I tried this a while ago. It sort of worked. Then, a couple of day ago I installed Earthlink's Pop-up Zapper. It seems to work better. You can actually designate various sites as zapped or not with a simple toggle on a list. Also, it doesn't accumulate the stopped windows on the bar at the bottom.” 7:16:44 PM 9/09/02 “Its hard for me to sneak on to TT at work with that red thing flashing at the top and the pop-ups.” 8:16:25 PM 9/09/02 “phil, does that on e work for porn too? LOL! i mean...not that i'm interested in that sort of thing, i was just wondering......ahem” 11:20:34 PM 9/09/02 “strat dont waste good time hunting porn on the net.... go to alt.binaries on usenet......” 11:33:07 PM 9/09/02 Earthlink POP-UP BLOCKER “strat - One of the reasons I installed it was because of a porn site I ACCIDENTALLY ran across. The pop-ups were so bad I had to reboot my computer. With Earthlink Pop-up Blocker I get no more pop-ups, but can allow them from a site if I want to.” 11:55:55 PM 9/09/02 “Yeah, right, sure Phil, anything you say, that's your story and your sticking to it!! {;-D” 12:04:57 AM 9/10/02 “tango - I knew that would happen...after all, this is Trail Talk.” 12:51:50 AM 9/10/02
