Pop Up Blockers
Pop ups are different compared to adware, spyware and malware because they are not nearly as dangerous to your computer. But even still, everyone usually wants a clean PC without any unwanted add-ons including pop ups.
Pop ups are annoying banners that shoots up while you are browsing through a site. We all have had those unwelcome banners pop up on our screen. But what makes it worse is when you click the button for it to go away, only to come back again in a few seconds. And even worse there are the pops ups which brings up fifty more as soon as you try to close it.
With all these pop ups, you may consider getting a pop up blocker. If this is the case, then be aware of the different types of pop up blockers.
The Serial Pop Up Blocker blocks every and all pop ups. With this in mind, know that all pop ups are not bad. Some pop ups serve a useful purpose, for instance a new window which we wish to be uploaded will not. The serial pop up blocker does not distinguish between a bad pop up and a useful pop up, it just blocks every single pop up.
The Trainable Pop up Blocker can distinguished between bad pop ups and useful pop ups after it has been shown. Here is how it works. You first tell the blocker to close bad pop ups every time they show up and soon the trainable pop up blocker will block the bad pop ups on its own because it will remember. This blocker can make a great tool to stop the annoying pop ups for good.
Intelligent Pop up Blockers are the best because they are already programmed to know the difference between pop up ads and important pop ups. These blockers are more expensive but well worth the extra money.
Pop ups only tend to be annoying. They are not as threatening to your computer as adware, spyware, malware and Trojans.
