I've installed MSN toolbar menu which have "Pop-up block" button. It is set
to block all pop-ups.

Unfortunately, lots of pop-ups sneak through!!! Maybe it is one of the new
MSN features, who knows? Anyway, I am looking for good commercial pop-up
blocker.

Hi Chris,

Try the msn toolbar available at : http://toolbar.msn.com/
This has a pop-up guard.

In addition, this is going to be addressed in the latest service pack for
Windows XP

Internet Explorer Pop-up Blocker
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/sp2brows.mspx
#XSLTsection135121120120
Pop-up Blocker features
Defaults
Pop-up Blocker is turned on by default. There are restrictions on the size
and position of pop-up windows, regardless of the Pop-up Blocker setting:
Pop-up windows cannot be opened larger than or outside the viewable desktop
area. For more information, see ?Windows Restrictions? in this document.

When this functionality is enabled, automatic and background pop-up windows
are blocked, but windows that are opened by a user click will still open in
the usual manner. Note that sites in the Trusted Sites and Local Intranet
zones never have their pop-up windows blocked, as they are considered safe.
This can be configured in the Security tab in Internet Options.

The soon to be released Windows XP Service Pack 2 has a Pop-Up Blocker built
right in (at last!) for more information about this look here:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/sp2preview.mspx

However if you can't wait for that I have found the Google Toolbar Blocker
to be very usable, check it out here:

I am using Lavasoft's Ad-aware program. Antispyware is another company. I
will look into their Popup Eliminator.

Thanks.
