Well Apu, depending on the type of Pop-up ad, PestPatrol might not detec anything, some aren't "embedded" with spyware, but tha's a rare oucrrance in pop-ups these days. If you just want to "kill" the pop-ups al-together, buy ZA Pro, which has a feature to "Block pop-ups that don't load iin "X" amount of seconds", then set the ZA Pro firewall to "Block" pop-ups that don'tr load in "1-second", if the Pop-up loads more quickly than 1 second, it's not that bad, if it doesn't, ZA Pro won't allow it to load, this is the only way to "Kill" pop-up ads that I know about, but it's not 100% perfect, nothing is. If you really hate pop-ups as much as I do, I'd find the sites that have the most of them, and go there less ofen with ZA Pro blocking all pop-ups and PestPatrol set to "Detect" everything it possibly can. Pop-ups are unfortnatly like telemarkers, they can be removed from your pc (with a blocking program), but they come back all at once with a vengenace. My advice is to find a firewall like the Afore mentioned ZA Pro, that "blocks" pop-ups and if that doesn't work, avoid some sites, it's unfoirtunatly a nessacry precaution if the ads get to be really bad. ALso be sure to update your Spyware removal program on a daily basis, the people wqho desing pop-ups love to destroy yourt "Blocking" porgrams.
