The Problem!
Let’s face it. about half of your time on the net is spent searching for that elusive site you're after.

So What’s the Answer?
You could purchase Pop-up stopping software and spend up to $40 or you can download Wishbone's FREE Toolbar with Pop-up stopping capabilities built in! Wishbone's Pop-up Stopper software employs an intelligent filtering mechanism so that Pop-up advertising is eliminated while Pop-ups that are part of web site navigation are allowed through.

That's right, Wishbone Toolbar is a FREE plug-in toolbar to add to your Microsoft Internet Explorer. Not only does it have our Pop-up stopping software built in, but it will allow you to search the internet using all your favorite search engines without even having to go to their site.

Wishbone Toolbar Help

Why do I get a Security Warning that asks me if I want to install and run the Wishbone Toolbar?
Your security settings are set so that you are prompted before any programs are installed on your machine. The dialog box is just asking you to confirm that you want to install the Wishbone Toolbar.

When I try to install the Wishbone Toolbar on WindowsNT, Windows2K, or WindowsXP, it fails. What's happening?
If you're running WindowsNT, Windows2K, or WindowsXP, verify that you have the Administrative privileges required to install applications. Check with your system administrator if you are uncertain about the status of your system privileges.

I've installed the Wishbone Toolbar, but I can't find it. What happened?
Your Wishbone Toolbar is most likely just hidden from view. First check the Internet Explorer's View > Toolbars menu item for the Wishbone Toolbar. If there is no checkbox next to the Wishbone Toolbar then click it to enable it. If there is a checkbox next to the Wishbone Toolbar then click it to disable it and then click it again to re-enable it. If you have more than one third-party toolbar installed then Internet Explorer may associate the Wishbone Toolbar with the name of another toolbar. If this happens you will have to enable and disable the toolbar via the other toolbar entry. If you have Internet Explorer 5.0 then the Wishbone Toolbar may show up as a second Radio toolbar entry. Click to enable the second Radio entry and you should see the Wishbone Toolbar appear.

Why do I get an Active X error message when I try to install the Toolbar?

You probably have your Internet security settings on High. This setting will prevent ActiveX controls from running. In order to install the Wishbone Toolbar, you must have ActiveX controls enabled. In order to do this,

Go to Tools > Internet Options
Click on the Security Tab
Click on the Internet icon in the window
Change your security setting to Medium
- If you see a sliding bar, move it to Medium.
- If you see custom setting information, click on the Default Level button and then move the slider to Medium.
Click OK
Try to install the Wishbone Toolbar again

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Wishbone Toolbar cost me anything?
Not at all! The Wishbone Toolbar is completely free for you to use as long as you would like to use it. Other pop-up stopping programs run for as much as $49.95 while the same functionality is included in Wishbone's toolbar for free!

I want to send this Toolbar to a friend. Where can they download it from?
The Wishbone Toolbar can be downloaded from http://toolbar.wishbone.com/.

How does the Wishbone Toolbar stop pop-ups?
The Wishone Toolbar stops pop-up windows that launch without a click event. This means that you still get pop-ups that launch when you click on a link. Those types of pop-ups are generally part of a web site's navigation, and not an advertisement. All other pop-ups which launch automatically are suppressed when you have the pop-up stopping function enabled.

I'm still getting pop-ups! What's wrong?
The Wishbone Toolbar stops pop-ups which originate from the web sites you visit. However, not all pop-ups originate from web sites. If the Wishbone Toolbar does not stop all unwanted pop-ups then your computer is most likely infected with software which hides in the background and launches pop-up windows directly from your computer. Some of the common programs which do this are Gator eWallet, Xupiter, lop.com, Hotbar, Comet Cursor, GoHip, Bonzi Buddy, and Kazaa. Removing these programs from your computer will stop pop-up ads which originate locally.

Will the Wishbone Toolbar slow down my browser?
Not at all. In fact, by eliminating pop-up advertising, the Wishbone Toolbar will make your browsing experience faster.

How do I remove the Wishbone Toolbar if I don't want it anymore?
