Ad Popup Filter

I don't like popups or ads (lol who does except the people who put them there) So I use a program called Ad Popup Filter. Has anyone heard about it? And is there something better out there?

It takes some time to train but it is free. I also like the Ad blocker built into Zonealarm Pro but that is not free.

I have ZoneAlarm Pro but i just recently uninstalled it for Sygate Pro. I like both, but I had some problems with Sygate, so looks like ZoneAlarm it is then

Thanks for your help,
FireWolf

We use ZAPro on our home net as the firewall (supplementing the NAT router) but for pop-up filter we run Ad-Subtract Pro. http://www.adsubtract.com

Ad-Subtract is more tweakable than ZAPro (you will find some sites that you want to allow pop-ups. It can also filter out 10 different kinds of annoyances. See attached image.

I use PopupCop, I think it is the best tool to filter popups and block others for I.E

I'm really beginning to like the new Google Toolbar's pop-up blocker.
