Nice to see Zero Popup at the top of that list.  I would say it's the best pop up stopper I have ever used with IE.

Of course if you download Opera, you never need worry about  popups again.

:doh: Here I go again. :fart:

Hi Simon
Yes I think that a popup stopper is essential, I have used popup killer for a number of years and I find it does the job admirably

Mozilla also has a built in pop up stopper, and it's FREE!!  With NO ads!!   ;D ;D ;D

Review from Download.com:

Open-source browser Mozilla's latest version features many small to medium functional improvements, adding additional capabilities in a number of areas. Past versions combined speed, standards compatibility, and the most robust feature set of any browser. Features such as tabbed browsing along with managers for pop-ups, cookies, forms, images, passwords, and downloads prove indispensable once you start using them. Beyond the browser, Mozilla includes a readily accessible suite of Internet applications such as mail and newsgroup clients, an HTML editor, and IRC chat. The Mozilla team focused on spam control, a very popular topic, with Mozilla's mail client, adding very useful junk mail controls. Past users will notice improvements in the pop-up and image managers, as well as the ability to immediately launch downloaded EXE files. Users of the HTML editor can now dynamically resize tables and images. The array of features and flexibility for Mozilla make it a browser we can unreservedly recommend.

Yes Simon, you are right to point that out :)

If, for some reason, you cannot get hold of a copy of Opera, Mozilla is almost as good :P :P
