I tried popup stopper, but it killed my win2k in a major way. (this was about two years ago). I've not touched popup stoppers since...

Re: Pop up stopper - what's your choice

Netscape 7.1 has built in pop up stopping with the option to allow specified ones through. Works fine with Win 2k too.

Re: Pop up stopper - what's your choice

Mozilla Firefox prevents them, so no other popup stopper is necessary.
