How to Uninstall a Pop-Up Blocker

Pop-up blockers are programs designed to stop annoying pop-up windows that launch automatically on websites. These programs can be stand alone, but they are typically included in toolbars. While most pop-up blockers can be disabled, or adjusted to allow pop-ups on specific sites, there may be a need to eliminate the program altogether.
