Pamy | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 01:00 pm     Are there any sites that you can download the blocker for free?? |
Hippyt | Tuesday, October 14, 2003 - 01:37 pm     Pamy,that site has a free edition,I just downloaded it. Only takes a few minutes. |
Scorpiomoon | Tuesday, October 14, 2003 - 01:47 pm     I used software from PanicWare and it was great. But, I have to say, downloading the Google toolbar--which has a pop-up blocker in it--has been even better. The Google toolbar is free. |
Texannie | Tuesday, October 14, 2003 - 03:21 pm     I use the free one from there too. |
Ryn | Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - 09:03 am     Ahh - but is the google toolbar spyware? hmmmm?? Me thinks it probably is ;) |
Bastable | Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - 09:09 am     If you're on a Mac, download the Safari browser. Pop-up blocking is part of the program, and it works perfectly! |
Scorpiomoon | Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - 11:02 am     Ryn: I don't think it is. The Google toolbar gets recommended on TechTV quite often and it is always stated that it is not spyware. But it just may be. |
Scorpiomoon | Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - 11:06 am     Ok, I just did a Google search. Ryn, you're sort of right. Google uses spyware technology to gain info for themselves but not to sell to advertisers as other spyware companies do. So, yes, it looks as though the toolbar is spyware. Time for me to delete it... |
Texannie | Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - 11:45 am     Ryn, I am not getting any hits on my Adaware from it. |
Ketchuplover | Saturday, October 18, 2003 - 11:16 pm     I downloaded the blocker from panicware(not free) The good news is its doing what its intended to do,the bad news is now pages load quite slowly. sigh. Are there any blockers that work without slowing things down? |
Texannie | Sunday, October 19, 2003 - 08:12 am     The free one didn't slow my puter down. I have switched over to the google search bar with pop up stopper and I am liking that one much better. |
