Guys, anyone know, if there should exist a plugin (no, not complete "suite of apps" and stuff, just plugin for IE to be placed into the plugins directory) that behave like Flashblock in IE?

Recently I saw this page:
http://www.getfoxie.com/feature/flashblock/
And they, as you can "test" for yourlself in IE, showing something like that, but when installed, there is no flashblock at all. At least using IE6 in Win2k SP4... realmad.gif

So this one is probably just a scam (they are from Israel, so I somewhat don't wonder...), but maybe someone know about something that realy working? unsure.gif


PS: one working one, but... nowhere as good, as flashblock... http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/tflash2.html

And another one, by Macromedia? But 300k in size and not 6, like the above Turn Flash... http://www.flashswitch.com/

And another: http://www.spywarewarrior.com/uiuc/fixes.htm#flash-kill

i think the closest you could get to having something similar to Flashblock would be getting firefox and using it. honestly.

i know that you can disable a lot of the popups caused by websites by disabling the Messenger Service in windows. however, IE itself has no plugins that i'm aware of or could see in a google search. maybe someone knows of one thats more under the carpet, but i doubt it, as IE isn't the most secure or stable of browsers.

Or just totally disable the Flash Player plugin? I think that would have the same effect.

There’s a very simple utility that just blocks Flash at http://flash.melameth.com. It works.
