The Adware, Adwords and Ad-blocking Economy
Software developers have reacted quickly; just throw "popup blocker", "popup killer" or similar search terms into Google, and you get ads from at least eight companies selling you popup killer software. Ads for ad-blockers; that's a bit weird, isn't it...
The problem with other freebies
My problem with all those "free" blockers is: they might block the popups, but who knows what other kind of parasite software they install? Well, you don't, until it's too late. An even if you're not paranoid about your personal information - what if that unknown software messes up your machine? No, thanks.
