can anyone recommend a good pop-up killer?

Post by Hipnotic_Tranz »

I had been using free surfer for quite a while but I recently formatted and have started fresh. Is there anything better out there? It seemed to have been slacking a bit lately (maybe just cause it's older, but I'm not going to pay to upgrade or anything).

Any suggestions?

You sure you had the latest version of FreeSurfer? I was using it with good results up till about a week or so ago when I switched to FireFox. Firefox is blocking the pop ups that FreeSurfer missed even though they were few and far between.

I use Free Surfer on client's IE systems, but I use an old version (v2.1) of Free Surfer, not the new one. Works great.

The Google toolbar does also work well.
