Does anyone know how to configure IE (or Kazaa) to stop pop-up ads? Or program that kills it. Thanx.
i dont think theres any way to configure kazaa or IE to do that but i no theres lots of programs, i used to have one but got rid of it because it wouldnt let the links open things in new windows, you can find it and probably lots more at http://www.thefreesite.com
i know there is a way to completly destroy pop-up adds with the system regestry... pop-ups are (Believe it or not) stored in temperary internet files... but they arent... (How do i say this) actualy there... if you look @ the location of the file... its in the temperary internet files folder, mmk? but.. if u serch that folder, it wont be there... u can empty the folder, look @ the pop-up directory, and it will still be in the temperary internet folder... so i guess its more advanced than hidden. :-P but n e ways.. the tricky part is... while the file is (Not understandably) "hidden" in the {temp. in.} folder, It accesses files from the system 32 folder... confused? id try and explain in detail.. but for those of u who know what im talking about, go into ur system regestry, and alter the file in system 32... though DONT EVEN try it unless u know what ur doing. so yes.. there is a way to kill pop-ups... but its not configurable.

for Kazaa, go to http://beam.to/spybotsd and download spybot search&destroy. Look to the left for the English flag to translate the site, cause its in German. It will kill all the cydoor crap and replace it with dummy files that keep kazaa working ad-free. It will also search out and disable all the spyware on your computer, including stuff that AdAware can't detect. For IE, there is a setting in JAVA that you have to disable, but I can't remember what it is. I've been using Mozilla to browse with. It doesn't support popups, period, and has a bunch of features that IE can't even begin to touch. www.mozilla.org if you want to give it a try. Happy hunting!
With internet explorer you want to configure the regular internet to a harsher standered than most people do. Under internet options then security go to the internet setting and disable active x and active x scripting, disable java and disable scripting of java applets. Now create a trusted site list of sites that you want to use their java. It takes a bit to set up but it'll cause a whole lot less head ache as popups just disapear.
Another solution is to run opera and they just have an option under file quick preferences that says refuse popup windows and open popup windows in the backround.
There's a program called SpyBlocker that will stop popups and most other ads too. It also
blocks spyware and web bugs. It's shareware now. If you want it search for SpyBlocker
at www.google.com.
lol, http://beam.to/spybotsd actually has a popup! ;-)
hehe thanks allenb!

PS: Don't you hate it when your typing something long and a popup comes up, you carry on typing, and it doesn;t register, know what I mean?
AnalogX has a great pop-up killer at: http://www.analogx.com/contents/down...etwork/pow.htm
I use PopUp Killer... it was on www.download.com, but I'm not sure if it's still there. After some "training," it's effective and uses very little system resources. There's not much continuing training that needs to be done if you visit the same sites regularly and even if you venture out to new sites, it's easy to add new sites to your blacklist. I'm sure if you do a Google search for it, it will be out there somewhere...
i used adsubtract for a while, but to use the pop up feature you gotta buy the real version for $30US. it works really well and takes out ALL the ads.
now i use mozilla, i love it more than my girlfriend.
There is also a version of Kazza called Kazza Lite. which does what allenb1963 talks about. It is a lite version of Kazaa which has the bandwidth restricition lifted and the pop-up add stuff removed. The only issue us you can not upgrade the version from Kazaa when you log-in or connect becuase it would replace the lite version and it also place a dummy .dll file in place or the cydor so ir you scan with AdWare it will find it but it is a dummy not doing what the original is.
I have also user a little app called pop-up stopper. (Think I got it from Download.com/CNET whatever) it seem to work nice, the issue is there are many site where you want the popup to happen (filling out forms, buying stuff, etc) Site have windows that pop-up to get information and you need those to happen or the site is usless to you. With this little app if you want the pop-up before you click on the link you do a shift-click, which allows the popup.
Whatever like I said I bet there ar e few out there that work fine. This is jsut my experience..
Enjoy

The fastest way, but will cause some problems with other sites unless you follow the procedure posted earlier regarding "Trusted Sites" :
In IE 6 Go to Tools | Internet Options | Security
Set security to "High"
Having tried that myself and been frustrated with all the maintenance this causes me, I did the following:
Downloaded Popup Stopper, found at:
http://www.panicware.com
and ran it successfully to stop MOST pop-ups.
Use Mozilla, it not only has a built-in pop-up blocker that actually works without breaking stuff, but also has an ad-blocker built in, and is faster than IE! Try it.
zdnet.com and cnet.com seem to have retired Spyblocker. I found it at this link www.sharewarejunkies.com/02zwd1/spyblocker.htm

well if you ask me, use Kazaalite, it is kazaa without the spyware. You can get it from kazaalite.com. then at that site they also have an adblocker, that should help with everything else. However blocking ads goes agaiinst rules set forth by every website or program maker. They must make money for their program, especially when they are NOT charging you to use it.

Proxomitron is a nice piece of freeware that blocks most ad related popups. It also has the added feature of multilayer proxy support. It is simple to install and run, while providing numberous features for tweaking its screening. Works with all browsers. Give it a try!

Try AnalogX, you'll find ''pow'' to kill popups and
''cookie wall'' for you guessed it, cookies.
try www.webattack.com

If you want power and control, go Proxomitron. If you want a good browser that will work with most sites that aren't worshipping Microsoft and it's proprietary we-don't-care-what-anyone-else-uses coding, then use Opera. Opera has a quick panel of option to let you turn off popups anytime. (And turn them back on when they aren't AD popups, and to have them pop up, but only behind all the other stuff.... and a ton of other useful secure and convenient features. I wuv it.)
