View Full Version : Google Toolbar stopped working?

Is it just me or has Google Toolbar increasingly been failing in preventing popups? Right now it still stops MOST of them but on some sites I still get popups where I didn't before (because google stopped them).
Usually they appear as a small window in the lower right corner and then become full popups in the middle of the page.
I've checked for spyware and I got pretty much none as I use Ad Aware and Spyware Blaster.
What could be wrong?

HOw about you just use mozilla or firefox? www.mozilla.org , they come with built in popup blockers, and are A LOT NICER than ie is or every will be, and is open source.

I highly disagree with you. I love the google toolbar. Always is working. I have gone on other peoples computers to check email or somethin and pop-ups are everywhere. I sorta forget they exist with the google toolbar. I guess what I am trying to say is the google toolbar is not
nothing but trouble but everything but trouble! And it is not like you have tried it. Now things like Inteligent explorer (adware downloaded onto my comp.) is horrible it places pop-ups by itself on things that you are searching for. Its gone now though! :)
