Pop ups!!!

OK. let me start by saying that I love IE. Tabbed browsing is not my thing so Opera is out for me. I dont care much for firefox (loads some of my favorite pages funny, toolbars not as nice as ie, and favorites incorperation ist the best).

Anyway, I have been using the google toolbar, spybot s&d, adaware, and spywareblaster. A few months ago and all during the school year I rarely ever had a pop-up. Now im getting them quite often and it has only been getting worse. Anyone else noticing this trend? Any solution besides switching browers? Well, of course I have the lates version and updates of thos programs. They just aren't getting the job done anymore. Not like they use to anyway.

This one still works just fine for me...seriously, I haven't noticed any new popup trends...I really don't get any.

Have you given it a try yet?

Actually. that is a gr8 little program and is what I originally started using about a year ago. I stopped using it when the Google toolbar came out. Maybe it is time to put it back up.

Tabbed browsing can EASILY be turned off in Opera (though I cant see why anyone would prefer new windows for each page over tabs). I think you should take another look at it.

Maybe I will give it another shot sometime, I just cannot stand having web page take up the whole srceen. I always have about 2 or 3 windows overlapping so I can easily select another or have information that can refer to on diferent pages. I would rather use the alt+tab replacement before I used tabbed browsing. Thats just me. I do like the tabs in deadaim though. Basically in my opinion IE is far better than any other browser without regards to pop-ups or the consideration that M$ is evil. Ive got pop-up stopper back on which doesnt's allow any new windows so I am happy for now.
