Are you tired of the never-ending pop-ups you receive when visiting websites? They never seem to go away do they? You can close and re-close and close and re-close again, yet you are back to where you began…pop-up city! We have found an awesome free, yes we did say FREE, resource to assist individuals and businesses with the problem of pop-ups. The Google Toolbar is available at http://www.toolbar.google.com/.

Once installed, the Google Toolbar is an extremely effective tool for stopping and thus virtually eliminating all pop-ups. The toolbar even includes a counter so you are aware at all times just how many pop-ups were blocked from your system.

In addition to the pop-up blocker included with the Google Toolbar, the package also includes:

• Search the web with Google from any site
• Fill in forms with one click
• Highlight search terms on a page
• Blog This (a free account with Blogger.com is required)

The Google Toolbar system requirements:

• Windows 95/98/98SE/ME/NT/2000/XP
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later
• The pop-up blocker feature requires Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or later
