Page 1 of Pop Unders - how can I stop them??

I don`t know about the rest of you, but pop unders really, Really, REALLY irritate me. Does anyone know of any software program that will obliterate these little blighters??

Or do we just have to tolerate them?

What is a Pop Under ? :/

A pop-under is an advert that appears on/in the same web browser window as the one you are looking at. This is different to a pop-up which is an advert which opens in a separate window.

So a banner ad?

A `pop-under` is an ad which appears in a separate browser window, but underneath the currently active window, so that you see it when you close the existing window.

What I think eye2eye is referring to are those animated ads (presumably Flash-based?) which appear on top of the web page you`re currently viewing. Not in a banner, not in a separate window, but literally on top of the text and graphics of the web page itself. Bloody annoying (not to mention insulting).

It`s somewhat perverse that the most lucrative ads are also the most infuriating to web users. To be honest, I think it`ll end up like the goose that laid the golden egg, and will simply fuel demand for software that blocks these ads.

They`re the ones that I meant. Those annoying animated ads that slow my 5 year old computer down and irritate that pants of me. Can they be stopped???

pop up stopper works for stopping most types of pop up`s/unders whatever. a search for panicwear should bring up the company, or search download.com. it`s free.
