I know they have stopped updates for build 162 and 158.

Man, I'm glad I looked through this forum a bit. I was still running Ad-aware build 162, and it wasn't working like I wanted it to. My Internet Explorer was running deathly slow, especially on forums and pages with a lot of pictures. I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I had tried running Ad-aware, virus scans, defragmenting.... everything. I was constantly checking for ad-aware updates through the program, but it didn't tell me about new builds, I guess. I updated to Ad-Aware 181 and it's running smooth again. Thanks!

and to add to all, if you are on a non-firewalled broadband connection, do you have Windows Messenger Service running on your machine (assuming it's a Win box)?

Ad-Aware is great, but to get everything, run Spybot Search and Destroy after AdAware. Those two will gut your system and get everything I've ever seen.

madsenj37 · 08-10-2003, 10:54 PM

get mozilla or netscape or one of their derivatives. Pop-up blocking is built in.

The Google Toolbar of course

chewybaca96 · 08-11-2003, 11:41 PM

just a note, make sure your AD-aware is updated. i just updated AFTER a scan that found 15 objects. ran it after the update and found 170 objets on top of that.

A new popup blocker that is absolutely free, Secretmaker 3.5.5.

Pretty cool freeware that is small in size, but very effective.

RubberSouls · 08-22-2004, 04:45 PM

I hate the ones that are integrated as a browser toolbar so I use this.

If you're running WinXP, service pack 2 gives Internet Explorer a built-in popup blocker. It actually works pretty well too.

Sorry for answering your question by just saying switch, but it seems you've already got a handle on the alternatives and, likely enough, they're not working.

I'd have to agree. They're much superior browsers anyways.
