Privoxy is based on the Internet Junkbuster (http://www.junkbusters.com/ijb.html). It is a fork intended to update it to more modern standards. It very well may not do what you want it to do. The config file is standard Unix-style. I noticed that a Windows binary is provided, at least for Junkbuster (I don't know about privoxy), but I don't know whether or not it would be too complicated for your users. Privoxy, AFAIK, doesn't block pop-up ads per se. You can certainly configure it so that the page request fails. -- Bill Jonas * bill@billjonas.com * http://www.billjonas.com/ "It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your front door.
