Free Popup Blocker
I am getting rid of the Google toolbar as I am on a laptop with a limited screen and without it I can move my address bar up and have a little more room. Also I did not like the recent autoupdate on the Google toolbar.

What is a good old plain vanilla popup blocker that is just a popup blocker only?

Thanks for the info.

I didn't try that one as it added another toolbar.

I found one called Hitware Popup Killer Lite that seems to fit the bill.

Thanks again.

Saxon-Could you send me a PM so I can see if the whitelist works with a popup notification.

Stop using IE and get a good hosts file and you will not get pop-ups.
I have netscape and only have one site listed for pop-ups and that is this site for the pop-up on PM's.
Last 8 years or so I bet I have not had more then 25 pop-up and when I got them I blocked them.
It has been so long now I forget when I got my last pop-up.
