Hey has anyone else been expereiencing alot more pop up ads than normal from visiting this site? lately i have been getting bombarded

Do you mean while visiting the site itself? Or after you leave it? I never get any popups while I'm here - maybe because I'm using Netscape and a Mac?

IRISH

i have been getting them on here. i am using IE 5,5 or something along those lines.

I'm using IE 6. No popups on Gunks.com, but plenty on other sites (but not up the wazoo.)

No popups on this site with IE 6. Some elsewhere.

Always wanted to ask - what's a wazoo?

wazoo = yingyang = literally a peice of territory you dont want to visit = bunghole

Sort of guessed that, but happy for the confirmation - thanks! Now I can turn my thoughts to something more, uhh, palatable.

There are no popup from this site. Period.

yea, i think i got duped into downloading something that gives me pop-ups, i know the exact email it was too., now i need to figure out how to get rid of it

try to find ad-aware? helps get that crap off your computer.
addeath supposedly blocks advertisements, but it doesnt seem to do a damn thing.

My two recommendations:

PopNot. I researched pop-up killers after I got a new system this fall, and my favorite (PopUpKiller) was no longer available. PopNot is like $20, but it's clearly the best one out there. Consider it a donation to a worthwhile cause.

Internet Junkbuster - it's an ad-blocker, and it cuts downloading time by tons when I'm dialing up ('cause it rejects loading a page of useless graphics). Man do I not miss seeing ads! Use the original (junkbuster), not the substitute (guidescope).

The internet is a different place with these two things!

there was a thread awhile back about Netscape 7 and Mozilla popup-busting. It turns out that the option to block popups is missing from Netscape 7 but can be enabled by adding the same string that enables it in Mozilla, to the prefs.js file for Netscape 7...

Is there anything of this nature free of charge for us cheapskates?

Probably ... search google. I remember having found a site that reviewed 10 or so of them, that was really helpful.

care to share some details?

If you're using Netscape 7.0 or later, try adding the following to the "prefs.js" file, located in ...Application Data/Netscape/Profiles/blah/blah - on a Win2000/WinXP, this is located under c:\Documents and Settings

user_pref("dom.disable_open_during_load", true);

I researched pop-up killers after I got a new system this fall, and my favorite (PopUpKiller) was no longer available.

You can download PopUp Killer at sourceforge. You can find more info at the temporary site here.

Yaaaay! I'm so glad it's back.

i installed it, but its not recognizing pop ups as well pop-ups,

would i be better off without the smart mode on, or turn it on and make it really sensitive?

Wow, This is the greatest program! I still have the sound on and i lok foward to hearing it go off!

Yep ... that's my favorite part <pop>!

so to get the program to work you gotta spend the 24.95 or whatever it is?? Im guessing no one found a free one?
john

nope you dont need to pay for anything. its free and its super

Hey I clicked the link Pop Up Killer, downloaded the program, installed and turned on the smart feature, but still get pop ups. Any recommendations?? For example, Weather.com has a advertisement on it's opening page that always takes over till you can find the close tab. That still keeps coming up and wheneer I sign on to hotmail I can close it and there's some advertisement window up behind it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, or any other pop up killer programs you'd recommend instead? Thanks.

you can add pop ups to it, open up the PUK window and see if its listed on the detected pop-up list, if it is you can just double click it and click add to block list.

if it isnt detected you can add pop-ups by their window name but that is trickier but still easy
