Pop Up/Under Blocker Is there a "real" pop up/pop under blocker? Many sites have gotten around the pop up blockers and still have ads that open when you click on a link in a site. The pop up blocker, for instance in I.E.8, does nothing with these types. | My System Specs |

IE7Pro works with IE8, but be careful when you install IE7Pro, the latest versions have had ASK-toolbar pre-checked for installation.

I tried the program and it did install a toolbar but it appeared to be it's own IE7Pro toolbar. However, I had problems accessing some sites, and response time on some others dropped drastically so I did a System Restore and got rid of it. I did a system restore rather than uninstalling the program as many times there are still fragments left after uninstalling.
I agree on toolbars, I don't have any installed. I like I.E. the way it is - actually I have a fairly vanilla system, very little in the way of add ons (I do have MSE and a paid version of Malwarebytes). I tried the Beta I.E8 and it's too minimalistic and looked like a Chrome clone. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number My Own Build OS Windows 7, 64 bit Home SP1, Win 8 Pro 64 bit CPU Intel i7 3770 Motherboard Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H Memory 16GB GSkill Ripsaw F3-14900CL9Q-16GBXL Graphics Card Sapphire HD7770 Sound Card RealTek Monitor(s) Displays Viewsonic VA2448 Series 24" LED Screen Resolution 1920X1080 Keyboard Kensington wired Mouse Logitech Wireless PSU Antec High Current Gamer HCG-620M Modular Case Coolermaster HAF XM Cooling Corsair H80 Liquid cooling with aftermarket Nexus quiet fans Hard Drives 240GB Intel 520 SSD for Win 7
