Free Popup blockers?

[Scaleskin]

Im looking for free popup blockers which will block stuff like the animated media I get on my website... anyone able to suggest which ones I try?

[macrom]

Everyone free one I've tried sucks period! And because of the rampant rise in backdoors/worms/viruses I purchased the Norton Firewall that blocks pop-up ads.

It's worth the investment and security, you should seriously consider it even if you have ot scrape up the money!

I wish you the best.........

One option: Google, Altavista and many others provide free toolbars that have pop-up blocking functionality built in.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, Scaleskin!

The page title is: Free Popup blockers?
You said you wanted to block "animated media I get on my website..."

Why would a popup blocker start blocking animated media (flash?)? Popup blockers are meant to stop those annoying thingies that popup during surfing, and I have never seen a popup blocker, or ANY blocker which blocks animated media.

And, why do you want it to block animated media on your own site?

As Shannon said, The Google, MSN, AltaVista, Alexa and AskJeeves toolbars all block popups. And they are all free.

I'd prefer the Google toolbar as the best popup blocker, but you can try all of those.

Proxomitron - block anything and everything that you'd likely want to.

I never see any ads and I don't want to:

encyclo is right on the money: I use Firefox, with the "click-to-view"/flash extension.

You know how you can permanently get rid of ANY flash you might see?

Don't download the plugin.

The title of the thread is highly misleading. Those aren't popups; they're flash movies. SWF files, or whatever you want to call them.

They are banner ads in the form af animated medai that appear on my website.. I know certain popup blockers block them so I set them to popup instead of being on the actual page. Google blocks them so I am gonna use that..

[danieljean]

Scaleskin, if you find those ads so obnoxious... why do you have them on your site?

[Scaleskin]

They are simple advertisements..but quite annoying...only problem is that I am unwilling to pay for webspace so I have to stick to free domains and that means I have banner ads...which I set to come up in popups so I can block them...found out Google toolbar blocks them.
