The thing about websites which bothers me most is annoying pop-up scripts. You know these little 'smart' java script popups which are GREAT if you only get one, but like a machine gun they hit you. You'd think...WOW, this is bad...but wait, it gets worse!...Some genius spammer figured out a good percentage of people install windows and never really bother peeking at services which are running.

So Along comes a new breed of popups Microsoft net messenger, these use a service which if you're in a local network (or in class) is the new version of 'passing notes'. its a little popup window with the sending computer's name on it. Now of course...in keeping with the spammers Motto "never let them know who you are" these net messenger spams have forged information.

Then...when you thought it couldn't get any worse, someone figures out how to make a buck (or $19.95) by selling you a program who's only magic is turning off the service. You could have done that yourself! But THEY don't want to make it sound so easy!!

So for the web-popups keeping you from your favorite site by geting in your way, get stopzilla or use one of the free toolbars below (they fit nicely into your browser and some even enhance searching for you. When it comes to net messenger, either follow Microsoft's instructions to turn it off...or if you aren't feeling too confident, get a FREE copy of IP AdKiller to shut it off for you.

Free Toolbar ad-ins like the ones below enhance your privacy by blocking unwanted popups. Earthlink now even has a SCAM blocker which identifies most web scams and stops them (much like a popup blocker).
