Whats the best pop up blocker?

Question

so my computer has random pop ups and to get rid of them, what should i use. i already have the google toolbar whichcomes with a pop up blocker but its not enough.

Answer 1

AVG is really good  

Answer 2

I'm using the latest version of Spybot Search and Destroy with the Resident IE blocker active and I'm finding it far better than their last version - lots of stuff disappears fast or doesn't get to load the page.  The Teatimer is using too much RAM which a version long ago did but I'm sure they'll get that sorted out with an update.

This is a great place to test a popup blocker:

Internet Explorer 6 doesn't do popup blocking but IE7 does.  Firefox passes the test I gave you very well and I haven't tried it with IE7 so I don't know how well that goes.

Answer 3

you should get a antivirus program called avast, that should do some good, or you can get a popup blocker from yahoo.

the Internet Explorer one works great!  When you want something to come thru, you just hold the ctrl key, and it disables it forabout 5 sec.
