Pop Up stoppers

I'm using the freeware version of Panicware's Popup Stopper. It doesn'nt have the option of selecting which popups to allow, like the BBC Radio channels etc. Does anyone know of a freeware one which gives this?

If you are on Windows XP then the latest Service Pack 2 has a pop
up stopper built in.
When a site tries to put up a pop up then you get a chance to allow
it this once, allow it from this site in future, or reject it.
If you do nothing you can just carry on.
I assume this only works on IE, have not tried any other browser.

Better still, try Mozilla's Firefox browser, which has a built-in pop-up stopper - which can be tailored to individual sites.
It's available free from

Try the free Google Toolbar at
You can turn popups on and off for individual pages and has a Google Search box which makes it very easy to find what you want.
Works a treat

I REALLY don't give a shit.
MORE than really:
FANTASTICALLY, HORRENDOUSLY, GIGANTICALLY, HUMONGOUSLY, BROBDINGNAGIANALLY, ENORMOUSLY, HUGELY, (I haven't got a Thesaurus handy, sorry....)
Either come up with a better O/T routine, or piss off to a Welsh Techie site,where I'm sure you'll be welcomed with open legs. Or Leeks.
Just, please, PLEASE, stop whining on about yer PC probs. Talk utter complete bollocks, like the rest of us, then we all know where we are.
Even better, send me yer addy and I'll send you some FANTASTIC music made BEFORE YOU WUZ BORNED !!!!!!
Yus !! Dass in the 80s ! Or even Da 70s!
OK?
Welsh Git (possibly NZ git: same thing, really.....)
