Is There any Alternative Way?
Actually we did long time research for this problem and found only one alternative way which is to surf internet gently. That means you should surf only genuine and reputable websites, but to make this difference among hundreds of websites is difficult by only seeing the URL. If you do a search on Google, it shows hundreds of websites in result, and it is not possible for anyone to distinguish between genuine and bogus websites. So you should have a strong browser which can control any type of pop up ad.
