Browsing the Internet and searching for content is an exciting venture whether it's music, videos, pictures or shopping. But nothing ruins an Internet experience more than frequent pop-up advertisements. Pop-up ads advertise everything from music downloads, to shopping sprees, but can be just as dangerous, because many of them are loaded with spyware and malware. Using free pop-up blocker tools offered by web browsers enhances your browsing experience, while eliminating potential threats at the same time.
