So I installed the latest v.2.0.113 of Google Toolbar on IE and the feature I liked best, the Popup Blocker, seems to be inop. All settings are the same pre- "upgrade". Anyone else notice this? Yes, I have Firefox, but work faster with IE so far. Maybe when I get a handle of Firefox extensions I'll switch for good, or at least until hackers target it.

 

I don't know too much about computers, but my Google Toolbar doesn't block crap anymore. I get popups all the time now . I wish I could find something better that ran as fast as the Google Toolbar did.

 

AOL has a toolbar that blocks popups.

I have noticed the same thing too. WTH is up with that?

 

Guys USE FireFox. its way faster than IE. Not as buggie, Not Intergrated into every aspect of your computer. and actually Blocks pop ups

Get it here: firefox

Wanna see something scary ? In your address bar of Internet Explorer. (Were the http://www.bla.bla is) type in: c:\ and hit enter

Looks like My Computer Huh ???? This is just a simple example what I mean when I say IE is intergrated into every aspect of your computer

 

Windows service pack 2 should be released any day now. Actually you can find it on the Microsoft site but it hasn't been released yet. It has a pretty good stopper integrated.

 

Try the new yahoo toolbar. It works great. It even has a "Anti-Spy" option for Spyware.

 

Yep, the Google Toolbar has gone down the drain.

As mentioned, SP2 will be out soon which will block them.

I have Firefox, bust as seen by my other posts of it, I can't stand to surf the forum here with it for the mentioned reasons in the post.

 

I did. You're right. It works better than Google, has far more features, and the Anti-Spy scanner found five more Critical Objects that the newly installed Ad-Aware SE missed. I'm running it with Google Toolbar because I prefer it over Yahoo! search engine. I didn't see (and didn't expect) to find a way to make Google default search engine on a Yahoo! toolbar.

 

I tried FF as well...I just cant get into it - forced it onto myself for almost a month. I really dont see where it is faster...unless you use the massive defaunt cache allocation - and it's still not that much faster. Anyway, I'm back on IE...and I like that it's integrated so much - makes it quicker to access. Also never have it crash on me...so I dont know why people say IE is buggy.

 

what i'm finding is that there is a sneaky app that loads in memory and just calls IE windows after window... google cant stop that...
