Internet POP UP's 2

[Matrixa]

Hello

I just got rid of all spam in the company. Now I want to consentrate on the POP up situation. What is best way to stop pop up's from coming !

I'd block external access to the TCP ports 135 through 139 to stop incoming messages.

Disabling the messenger service on NT/2K/XP is one way, but if you have a network, it is not appropriate to do this in a networked environment because it stops legitimate network broadcast messages as well, although this technique is usable on a standalone machine.

If your looking for something free, Google Toolbar does a good job and is safe.

I use the free Yahoo toolbar, and I love the little fly-swatter sound when it stops pop-ups. Being free, it's not perfect, but it helps immensly. You should look into Ad-Aware and Spybot Search and Destroy. Both locate cookies on your hard drives which are dropped there that sends information back to companies that place them there, then deletes them. I use both, but prefer Spybot. (Quick Google search will give you both.)
