War Against Popups — Update

Up until 12 hours ago I would have sworn I lost the war against those treacherous popups. A friend wrote and suggested I visit http://www.panicware.com and download their “Popup Stopper” software.

True to his word, “Popup Stopper” eliminated them! In fact it is so good it even eliminated the popups necessary to update my Blog. I have to turn off Popup Stopper when working on the Blog and then turn it on again when I finish! A small price to pay to be rid of them and have some peace of mind again! I never experienced anything quite like it... It was as if they invaded my space. They were everywhere I looked. Even when I turned off all the ActiveX features in my browser they still crept in!

What I still can't figure out is... Why one or two sites still send me popups when I visit their sites. It is only those sites as Popup Stopper seems to be doing its job! I would imagine they are configured differently as I don't get them from other sites.

To start out, I decided to first try the FREE version of Popup Stopper and see whats what! So far so good. I feel — once again — like I am living in a land without popups!

NOTE — Perhaps it was me... but I found it a little difficult to find the FREE version of Popup Stopper, so here is the direct link.

In my opinion... I think we need to find a better way to advertise and reach our audience “without” popups or popunders. While they worked for a while, the hackers took that option away from us!
