Did you ever go
to warez/cracks sites (which we all know is BAD!) only to be bombarded with 10
windows opening up at a time, with porn, spam etc?
I've discovered
a VERY easy way to block about 90-95% of this sh!t, without using any pop-up
stopping programs (I hate installing that garbage!).
This is for
Internet Explorer 6.0, but I'm sure that it can work with other browsers if you
take the time to fiddle around.
Here's how you
do it...
1) Go to TOOLS
and then INTERNET OPTIONS.
2) Click the
SECURITY tab, move the slider up to HIGH and click APPLY.
This applies
the highest security settings to IE, which blocks EVERYTHING, including
JavaScript, Applets, and so on that pop-ups are based upon.
The catch is
this... Some places like online banks and other web sites need these functions
to work properly... So you'll need to re-enable one important thing...
1) Go to TOOLS
and then INTERNET OPTIONS.
2) Click the
SECURITY tab, CUSTOM LEVEL, scroll down to SCRIPTING, and under ACTIVE
SCRIPTING, select the ENABLE radio button.
3) Click APPLY
and you're pretty much done!
Note: This does
NOT completely remove pop-ups and other annoyances, but it sure helps ALOT,
without having to trash your computer with pop-up blockers
