Stop Popups – How To Block Popups On Your PC!
There is nothing more annoying on your PC, than having a window popup window in your face when you are browsing the internet. This section will help stop the annoyance of those pesky windows from ever appearing on your system.
Popups are used for general advertising and often are generated by having spyware or adware on your machine. To make sure, you should first run a program on your system to eliminate spyware.
If this does not resolve the problem, then the popups you are experiencing are hard coded into the sites you visit as a form of advertising. Here we will discuss how to block popups no matter what they are:
General browser pop-us:
General advertising popups can be blocked by installing a popup blocker. There are various popup blocker toolbars available that you can install. Here are our favourites:
Google Toolbar
No only is this a very useful toolbar that allows you to search Google no matter what site you are on, the handy features that come with it include a form filler (great for entering your address at the click of a mouse) but it also comes with a popup blocker. It works pretty well too. You can download the Google Toolbar here.
Alexa Toolbar
Alexa provides a free toolbar with many features that allow you to see who owns a site, what their traffic ranking is and the links pointing to the site. Their free toolbar also includes a popup blocker. You can download the Alexa toolbar called Sparky here.
