Where can I download a "final solution" pop up destroyer? (free).
My computer is plagued with these pop ups. I tried other pop up ad destroyers but one stopped working after 327 blocks. I'm losing hope.

1. switch to a better browser (like firefox)
solid pop up blocking is a standard feature on the new modern good web browsers

2. Zone Alarm
It's not free, at least not the version that blocks popups, but it's the best one I've found. Of course it is mainly a firewall, but the popup blocking it provides is wonderful.

3. Definitely Firefox
I switched months ago and no trash since.

4. Google's works really well, and it's free.

Either that, or get a Mac with Safari!

On edit: you'll not only lose the popups, you'll also lose pesky things such as spyware and, oh yeah... viruses.

5. Mike, I have a great Pop up Stopper.

I could email it to you. It's a pro edition, and I have the registration number. IM me if you want it. It's fantastic.
In fact, if anyone wants it, I'll email it to you.

6. Also check for spyware/adware.
Download Spybot Search & Destroy: http://www.safer-networking.org
and
Lavasoft Ad-Aware: http://www.lavasoft.de

Run both and let them clean up.
