Blocking Pop-ups at the ISP Level?

Posted by Cliff on from the something-for-the-customers dept.

roXet asks: "I work for a small ISP that offers dial-up and DSL in Louisiana. In the wake of the big boys' new wave of pop-up and spam blocking advertisements, I am looking into providing these services for our customers. I hate the thought of filling my customers machines with proprietary software, if for no other reason than I see it creating a support nightmare for our call center. I have found several options for blocking spam at the network level, but I have yet to find a good solution for getting rid of pop ups. Has anyone found a good method of doing this at the ISP level?"

    Instead of proprietary software you could distribute browsers that are open, and block pop-ups and spam. All this being default settings.
