Ad blocking?
« on: February 04, 2006, 03:19:49 PM »
Hi,

Is there any ad blocking programs out there that's free and works excellent with avast! professional?
Why?
Cause I hate ads  :-\

Thanks,

Henry

As you can see from the picture, I let GreenBrowser do it for me. You may click on the link to download it. GreenBrowserSetup.exe
That  isn't the only way of handeling ad-blocking and there are many other browser capable of perforning the same task.

http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/browse/0,cat,1448,sortIdx,1,00.asp (Yes I know we all love PCWorld) but this is merely a list (with a few comments) of pop up blockers (Note: mixed in with spyware removal) and if they're free/paid.

By the way, on that list is a program named Internet Sweeper which cost $30 after the trial period. This is not the original and still free Internet Sweeper which can be found here:

http://www.geocities.com/Internet_Sweeper/

The original free Internet Sweeper does all the things that are listed for the $30 version (rip-off?) on the PCWorld page. The $30 one is listed as V4.0 where as the free one is listed as V1.9.2 but the features are the same and it works perfectly with XP Home SP2 ... probably the same with XP Pro SP2.

All these browser (Maxthon, GreenBrowser, Avant Borswer etc) are just shells (interfaces) for IE6. So in heart itself it's still IE6, just with different interface.
Opera or Firefox are imo still the best options if you prefer rich features acompanied with safe engine.

Agreed, but because of compatablity problems with Opera and Firefox on some sites I need in business I'm currently using Avant.  It does a good job blocking ads and popups for me.
