I need a good popup smasher that's free and won't generate popups or track me...

Thanks! :)

    Do a google search for "smart popup killer". It's my current fav. popup "smasher" and it runs in the system tray only when you run IE. It's interface is also very simple, quick and easy...best of all, it's free :o

    i like the google toolbar, its built in popup blocker works pretty good.

    i find that the opera pop up blocker works very well also. before i used this, i used panicware's popup stopper, and it seemed to do the trick as well . . .

    Yep firebird too, or mozilla. (firebird is mozilla but a "different" version, have not tried it).

    What's nice about it is that it blocks all popups, and you can allow certain domains only. So I allow forums I go to and that's it (PM notices etc..)

    if you use mozilla but haven't used firebird, you should definitely switch. although firebird is a beta, it performs MUCH better than mozilla 1.4/1.5, and tends to perform all operations very quickly

    that's nice to hear, I'll give it a try. Will I be able to convert my current email settings? I have like 6 accounts all convigured and don't want to go through the configuration just to switch.
