Asked By annmarie 610 points N/A Posted on - 06/08/2011

It is so annoying that when you visit some site and there are some pop-up add that will definitely appear even you didn’t click it. Most of them are added on every link without knowing that they exist on that link. I think that the best way for them to get noticed but for some people like me it is a nuisance on the net.

I try to find solutions on how to eliminate those annoying pop-up and found out that there are lots of pop up killer available on the net. I Google some software on the net and find a lot of them but don’t know what is the best among several software available on the net.

Can someone recommend me what would be the best software? At least the top 3 best software for this and why do you recommend this software? This will help me decide what software should I install.

Thanks a lot!

Best software for pop-ad killer on the internet

I understand the frustration you have. Nothing is more annoying than to sit down and try to complete some reading or research and get lost in a maze of unwanted ads and pop windows. The greatest concern is of course the damage that may be done without you knowing it. Unfortunately what you find is that the pop up blockers that are built into the browsers themselves are effective but severely limit what you are able to access when on the net.

There are some really great options for the problem you have. Many of these programs can be found at no cost. There are also some others that have one time fees associated with them. I have used several of the free programs for many years and have been very happy with the results. If you are interested in a free program, I will suggest a few options. The first would be to look at the browser that you are using. Mozilla and Safari both have pop up blockers that are built into them. This is always a plus and these browsers are PC and MAC compatible and both offer a user friendly interface. The second option would be to use a toolbar. Google toolbar, MSN toolbar, and Yahoo toolbar are some of the most popular options. The toolbars are designed to add some functionality to the browser and the add-ons will allow you to set the pop up blocker.

 

In addition to changing the browser and installing the add-ons there are several free programs that you can use as well. Ad-aware by Lavasoft is one of the most popular anti-virus and spyware programs. I have used the free version of this program for many years and have been very happy with the results. It does a wonderful job of eliminating the ads as well as quarantining and removing the affected files. There is a paid pro version of the application but the free version has the same updates offered without the additional costs. Most of the battle with these adds is keeping up with the changes. The coding that the operating systems and use as well as the ads and viruses is always changing. You want to select a program that will update the database regularly to support these changes (386).

 

Norton and McAfee also offer pop up blockers with their services. They have been around for many years and some of the best around. They are subscription services. The major downfall is that some of the versions will quarantine a virus successfully is infected but will charge additional fees for removal. There is no one program that is going to be one hundred percent successful. It is always best to have an additional backup in place. Running programs like Avast or AVG as well are always a good idea. That way for the one to five percent that one program may not catch you have a default that will assist. If you don't want to add so many layers that you have internet connectivity issues due to conflicts you are able to use Windows Defender as a backup resource as well.

 

The primary thing to remember is that some sort of protection is better than none. I would recommend looking at the manufacturer sites. There are also some other sites such as http://www.tucows.com/downloads and www.majorgeeks.com that are excellent sources for these programs. These sites clearly list what programs are available as freeware formats versus those that will require a subscription fee. Once you have made a decision make sure to run your virus program and the new malware/adware programs. You should see results from the very first launch. Good luck and if there are any other questions that can be answered to assist you, please feel free to post them.
