I have Advertizing Killer and it really works great and I think it uses alot less resources and its free, also (see the little red circle with a white dash in it at the bottom of your screen)double click it, and click settings click edit, put the www.or http:// address you want to block in there together with advertizing Killer I now do not get any pop ups, its great and once in a while when I go to a new web site I will get one and I just put it in, if you need address please ask. I will look it up. Sue
