    Hey, I've been having ALOT of trouble with popups lately, I can barely go to any websites or type anything without getting a pop up, so I was wondering if I could get some recommendations for a good blocker system.

    If you could help I'd really appreciate it! +rep

    buy a program that can help with blocking pop-ups such as Norton or Trend Micro, but if you want one for free, then download the neopets or google toolbar as stated above. You can also try yahoo as well.

    Or you can just ditch IE and use FireFox like normal internet users :) That and download a good spyware remover like Spybot S&D or AdAware

    I use Pop-Up Stopper Companion for IE. It has a very effective pop-up blocker (which also allows you to accept pop-ups from a certain site). In addition, it has several other features such as completely clearing the history and cache of your computer to promote privacy.

    Pop ups? Use Mozilla Firefox with Adblock plug-in.

    You should also get the adblock updater with adblock, it will update the adblock list every 4-7 days, so you will not see any new ads

    Thank you all, I downloaded firefox and both google and neopets tool bars like you suggested, and the number of popups I've received has dramatically decreased. +rep :D
