Could it be that it's time to update your filters?
And - do you have Proxo 4.5?

No,I don't have 4.5. When I go to the proxomitron site,I get 5 oriental
looking characters and that's it.
And,what filters are you referring to?

I just updated to 4.5 and still get pop ups. Go to www.iexbeta.com and see
if you get any,it is the same two that keep coming through. Will keep
tweaking..

I've viewed this site in Avant, Mozilla and K-Meleon. All 3 browsers have
built-in pop-up stoppers. I'm running DNSKong, eDexter and Kerio plus Proxo
4.5 and the JD configs.

The site view.popupsponsor.com asks to set a cookie (denied by me with
AnalogX's Cookie Wall - in Avant - and Mozilla Cookie Manager - in
Mozilla). No cookie request in K-Meleon (prefs are set to accept site
cookies only).

Result is that the banner ad at top, and a side banner on the RHS, are
blocked. Rest of the page loads nice and clean with no popups.

Happy tweaking!

You mean like Jackie Chan, that sort of character?

May I suggest that you download Sponge's proxomitron configuration
and see if that fixes your problem. Don't forget to backup your current
configuration first.

This may seem overly elementary, but... Are you sure you're really *using*
Proxomitron? Sure, you can have it loaded and running; but unless you
explicitly tell your browser to use it, it won't actually *do* anything.
