I can totally recommend Analogue X's POW! - I've been using it for well over a year now, with no problems at all. It recognises most pop-up's straight away, and it's very easy to add the one's it misses (not many!) while you're there check out his other free applications, - although I have 384meg of memory currently installed in my machine. I still find Maxmem one of the best free app's out there. ; ) -- spotta try this from lockergnome http://technoerotica.net/mylog/optouts.html -- Lexi I love the freebee's too, but I am not unwilling to pay for a program that does exactly what I want in a world class way. I've often recommended a program called Zero Popup. It even has the coveted Master NetLord Seal of Approval!! It's not free, but it's worth every penny of the USD19.95 I paid for it. You can see it at: http://tooto.triasite.net/download.htm -- Master NetLord 01/14/2002 Look at the DON'T PANIC POP-UP STOPPER at www.panicware.com Don (14.1.02) Personally I like SIP from iconlabs.net, it takes a little while to set up (as you use it) but it's free and works very well. - TTFN Mex It's called Free Surfer mk II and is located at http://www.free.surfer.tc/mail . It also has some other interesting features. I think it's well worth it to check it out. The one I settled on is called Web Window Killer. It works the best compared to the others. It does come with a base of windows it will kill and when one pops up you just open the program from the system tray and with a couple of clicks it's added to the list. It's very user friendly. Take a look http://www.anarelion.com/aalku/WebWindowKiller/main.php download it and see for yourself.
