[dba-Tech] Pop-up stoppers

I hate that thing.  whenever I troubleshoot anyone's pc here at work and 
I find that thing I immediatly uninstall it and replace it with 
popupmanager.  For one they get less clutter in IE, and 2nd it doesn't 
distract w/ a bunch of useless buttons etc.  If you really like 
searching from your browser directly into Google, try Mozilla Firebird, 
it's one of the default plug-ins.  I use a series of plugins to date. 
Google, alltheweb, Ebay even IMDB and dictionary and thesaurus.com  :) 
you select type your word and you're off, it doesn't call home or run 
statistics off your bandwidth like the googlebar and the browser kills 
the popups ... I've mentioned before on the list Mozilla Firebird is my 
default browser and I RARELY ever need to use IE for anything, in fact I 
would argue that I possibly use it than 5 times a month (IE that is).
