To ChrisM - Popup Blockers

Question

According to Panicware's home, none of their products are free. 'Panicware Products - Our products feature a FREE 30-day trial period.' Two free popup blockers that I know of are; The Google Toolbar and the one build into IE after you update to SP2

Navigating to the free edition is a bit tricky

IF you go to

http://www.panicware.com/product_downloads.html it would give the impression that the products feature a FREE 30-day trial period.

but scrolling down the page

Pop-Up Stopper® FREE Edition
Surf with style with this free browser pop-up ad-blocking utility for Internet Explorer and Netscape. This program is completely free, and does not require registration to use or download

http://www.download.com/3000-7786_4-10048866.html

tried the program a long time ago .After installing all the programs listed in link "Essential spyware removal steps .. " along with firefox and sp2 I have never had a popup problem .

Thank you for the correction.  With your help I did finally find it buried in the middle of the page.  Note to ChrisM instead of giving a linke to the general download page, make it a link to the Free version's download page.  Thatg would make everyone's life a little easier.

I've been using the Google tool bar pop-up blocker for about a year now and it works very well.I feel it works better than the pop-up blocker that comes with sp2.Also the auto fill feature on the Google tool bar is pretty neat.
