I've always used AdShield, and never had any problems with it...plus it's free. The only requirement for using AdShield is version 5 or higher of IE running on the Windows OS. You can download version 1.2 of AdShield from here...

http://www.adshield.org/

You can find the AdShield user's guide here...

...and the AdShield support page here:

There's this program called....Opera! A browser with a built in pop-up killing option. What a wonderful idea

I imagine AdShield is great but it doesnt work with Netscape 6. Does anyone have a good one that works on N6? I have tried Pop up stopper but it works by stopping a second window of your browser to open which is kind of annoying when your trying to open a link. Theres an option to bypass this by holding ctrl while clicking on it but after a while it gets annoying.

Try Adsubtract, it works with IE and Netsacape. It also has good cookie managment aswell.

For all Windows OSes I like Pop-Up Stopper
from here.

It doesn't have any nasty side effects and there is
a FREE version that works just fine.

Web surfing is soooo much nicer since I installed
it last year.

I have used Panicware Pop-Up stopper and it worked very well.

I now use Proxomitron and it blocks pop-ups and banner ads.

I find POW! from Mark a pretty good pop-up killer.

I've never tried POW! so i cant comment on it. I have tried/using Ad-Subtract Pro, i think its the best one out there, you can block pop ups, block ads, background images and advertisments.
