    I use firefox browser which blocks popups. When I have to use internet explorer... I use a program called ..Guard-ie. Guard -ie also deletes your browsing history, and temporary internet files each time you close out a window.i

    Thanks. Never heard of this before. I'll have to check it out.

    Both of my browsers(SlimBrowser(for IE functionality) & Opera) take care of the "problem" for me. Outpost Pro takes care of the static/banner ads. ;)

    The choices seem to need updated a little -- IE6 SP2's new built-in blocker seems to work just fine (for me anyway), and of course didn't exist when this poll was first set up.
