Damn - there goes my income. I'm going to need to work now instead of muppeting

 

That link threw up a window with an ad

 

Glad that this sort of thing has not gone unnoticed. Would need to be a real quickdraw with alt+f4 sometimes [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

 

If using IE5 you should try a seriously nifty app called 'Popupstopper'.

It can be found at http://www.5star-shareware.com/Internet/BrowserAdd-Ons/popup-stopper.html

This is the best application in the world if you get as p'd off as everyone else on the planet with pop ups

Thanks for that, i have been useing a 30 wipe out one off the net so after every 30 it stops, i have to take it off and put it back on again.
This one is probley better.

Yep. I think that this one is pretty well 'donationware' It reminds you of just how cool it is after every 40 windows or so, but is still free to use.

Cheers,

Footlong

can you help me set my pop up killer?

It's making all my pop ups very small on the top left hand side of my screen, even when I click on a page in scooby, so I have to click on enlarge to see weather it's ok to see or its a bad pop up.

I just want it to shut down junk pop up, you know the kind I mean.

email me all the setting you have in options etc

Thanks

I have downloaded pop up killer, but i need to set it up right,It's doing funny things eg
sending pop ups to top left hand side of my screen but to small to see, even my scooby pop ups which people put on so we can click on them.
email me all you options etc so i can get it working right
thanks

All i can advise on is the preferences and compare them to mine.


In preferences, general, only autostart is ticked.
In Look & Feel, tray icon, tabs text and soundeffects and ticked.
In detection, nothing is ticked.
I have it doing the business on 2 machines without problem

Remember to also synchronize your popups. The upload feature doesn't work. Just the download
I use Win2K on both of the machines and IE5.5/6

Hope that gets you going.....

Cheers,

I wrote a popupkiller in vb - i'll see if I can dig it out.....what it does is look for instances of IE once it's been run, then doesn't allow more then a specific number of additional IE windows to be run, can be frustrating if you honestly want loads of ie windows open - but other than that it works a treat...

 

I normally use popup filter and it was great, you have nothing to do and it just stops every annoying popup that you don't want,

and it keeps a record of the ones it stops, but no setting up at all, but it's only a trial version for 30 popups, but then after the 30 popups you then have to uninstall it then put it on again takes less then a minite.

So when you download it for the first time, save it to you hard drive in a folder then you can just click on the set up each time you want it back on your desktop activated..
