Howdy all,

I'm looking for suggestions on a great pop-up blocker.

After trying a few different pop-up blockers, I'm now
using the Google Toolbar (awesome to have google search
AND a pop-up blocker)

It does a superb job at 90% of pop-ups.

However, There are those pesky pop-ups that are more like
a flash animation or something like that. The toolbar
does not block those. Those are actually kind of sneaky
because some of those animations fill more of a space
than you assume they are, and you click them and it opens
up a new link, basically making them the same as the evil
pop-ups.

I want to kill ALL pop-ups :)

I'd prefer to find a free program, but wouldn't
necessarily mind paying a few bucks for something decent.
Any suggestions from experience?

Thanks,

SSDD
