Active X - Java - Cookies - Referrers Controller?

Hello,

I am using NOD32 and here's my problem. NOD32 is fine! The firewall problems are not! I used to use Agnitum Outpost Pro, until 3 days ago... The firewall part runs fine, the active content plug in is unstable. I set it so it would prompt me for active x and java applets, and to allow cookies and java script (I have Script Sentry to take care of that, I think), and also to block referrers.. It will allow me to either accept or block, and then make a rule so it will be the same for the next time I visit that same page. I have to get on "intranet" sites, and Agnitum's plug in doesn't allow me to enter an active content rule for websites over a certain length. I got fed up and uninstalled it, and installed Kerio. Kerio doesn't have anything like that included. Agnitum also had a great pop up ad blocker. I am now trialing "Pop Up Cop" and it's okay, but it doesn't have anything for "on the fly" active content rule creation. I tried Finjan and I hated it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Please don' suggest ZoneAlarm..

 

I would suggest Adshield.
It allows you to rightclick popups, adds etc you don't want to see anymore and add them to your blocklist.

Pieter

 

Thank you... I actually used Zone Alarm Pro 3.1 + for a short while (I bought it) but the "mobile code wasn't as configurable as Agnitum's, so I uninstalled it.. Actually the biggest reason I uninstalled it is slowed the internet way down!! Even pulling CNEt was a Forever long wait.. I may go back, if they can straight out their active content part (Mobile code)...

I will try adshield now...

 

Mind you, it is not a firewall. It's an extra application that IMO gives the user full control about what he wants to let trough to his screen.

In regards to popup control programs,I've tried quite a few.I finally settled on Spyblocker.It's shareware(less than $20.00)with a trail version available.It blocks a lot of stuff,popups and more!Works really well with my firewall.As for an address,a Google search is how I found it.There are a lot of free popup killers that work ok.Webattack has a lot of them.

 

You can find SpyBlocker here:

Some popup blockers (Power to the people).
All of these are 100% pure freeware, no trial periods. Some of these do more than just handle popups.

Good luck and take care.

 

Nice list Acadia. Gives a person some choices.

 

Thanks, root. Actually, my firewall takes care of most popups and unders but there were still many sneaking through. So I did not want to spend any money on an app just for popups (I already paid $50 for my firewall). But no lie, since adding AdShield about two months ago, I have not seen one popup or under. Have a nice weekend.

 

Jee,.. Tahnks for all the addresses.. However, I was able to fix the problem I had with Agnitum Outpost, admittedly, I did not know I needed to refresh the page after a change in the active content. I hope your info will help someone else, though...

 

Thank you! This is a cool forum! I use it primarilly for the NOD32. Thank you for the welcome!
