Advantages: no more pop-ups, quicker surfing
Disadvantages: no secondary window
Dont you just hate surfing the web just lately! It seems no matter what site you go to, this one included, that you get inundated with Pop-Ups. Im forever having to click little crosses, I swear I dream about clicking these little crosses in my sleep! You might only have 10 minutes to spend to search the net and you can spend 50% of that time getting rid of all the useless pop-up's that just keep popping up. My friend was having the same problem and contacted blueyonder through her broadband instant support. The site she was told to try was tucows.blueyonder.co.uk no need for the www. Once there she did a search for eliminating pop-ups. The one she found was called 12 ghosts pop-up killer, and it did the trick, no more pop-ups!!!!!Hooray. So as soon as she mailed me with the news I went straight to tucows.blueyonder.co.uk and typed in the search box for 12 ghosts. Within seconds a window comes up with about half a dozen different programmes that 12 ghosts do, and in amongst them was the pop up killer. I clicked on it and I clicked the button that said down load and it told me it would take 3 minutes to download, in fact it only took 30 seconds if that, and it download straight to my Desktop. It installed within seconds too, and I was then back on the net to try out my new little pop-up killer. To my dismay it didnt work.I wanted to try out a site which I knew had pop-ups so I came straight to dooyoo which i know is terrible for pop-ups, and pop-ups were popping up all over the shop. Damn I thought, so decided to have a look at the instructions. I went to start, programmes and clicked on the 12 ghosts pop-up killer BOSS KEY. In there a little window pops up. On this window you have the options at the header where you can click: pop-ups killer, History cleaner, Boss key, options, general or about. To prevent any pop up you need to click on the pop ups k
iller and check the box that says 'dont allow explorer to open up a secondary window' once this is done you are pop up free. There are many more options in this programme which you may find useful, like deleting history, or cookies etc. There are probably many more but I have found the one thing that i needed it for. The only disadvantage is that if you are surfing the net and you click on a tab that needs to open another window then you have no chance, and you will need to go back and uncheck the little tab that you clicked on to stop the secondary window from opening. But other than that i found surfing the net an happy affair again. So if you want your pop-ups to pop off you know what to do, go to tucows.blueyonder.co.uk and you can have a pop-up free surf too.

- 16/04/04 I've been away from dooyoo for ages because of those pesky pop-ups. Just had my computer checked out and found 150 intrusions and 12 virus'. The whole thing had to be wiped in the end! |

- 25/02/04 That sounds good - though like others who've commented I have the Google toolbar and set that to block all popups. It works well too. Sue |
