A lot of people like the google tool bar pop up stopper. I've just started using it on one of my secondary computers so I don't have an opinion yet.

I've used this one for a while and it works fine. Free 30 day trial ..$20 to buy....it also has an option to kill windows messenger.

Pop up stopper list...this is download.com's list of pop up stoppers with user ratings and cnet ratings..its' a good idea to read the user ratings for whatever program you're interested in.

Shoot the messenger...this is a good free download that inactivates windows messenger.

Ken ..
the popup stopper I use, as well as several here on CL is available for free here

www.endpopups.com/

I really like the little RED widget in the lower left hand portion of the screen letting me know that, SHOULD I want/need to open the popup there is one there that has been blocked

for, there are times when I'll attempt to go deeper into a website to learn something, and that site uses popups to answer my query ...
then, that red widget lets me know that I can clik on it and see the popup I need ...

and, as to the next post from Harpo and the screen rotation .. dunno about that problem ... sorry ...

Pop-Up Stopper:

I use Zone Alarm Pro and haven't seen a popup since I installed it. Also use AVG & Spybot. My system remains clean and lean.
