    What is the most popular free ad blocker for ie8? Just looking for something that will do a good job at blocking ads and not mess up my internet connect. I've looked at their but having a tough time finding what is the most popular one.

    Hi

    This one is good, based on Adblock and NoScript for Firefox, its called AdblockIE if you want an addon for IE.

    Are you talking about pop-up ads? IE8 has one built in, works perfectly for me. And it is on by default. Just click on tools - pop-up blocker.
    The only pop-ups it allows are those #*%@#$ Bing ads[​IMG]

    I've always used IE7Pro, though it's rather more than an excellent ad blocker, as it has loads of other features too. It doesn't impose a heavy load though.

    Hi

    Generally its good to know what versions of IE you are using as many add-ons are not 64bit IE compatible as 64bit browsers are thin on the ground, also what application or was it both suggested that didnt do what you wanted?
