Pop-up Killer Review

 
 

Last updated: Sep 9, 2005



A quote from AdsGone's site:

More than just a popup blocker:


* Patent Pending Popup Blocking Technology: Blocks unwanted popup ads. Allows the ones you want.
* Prevent Messenger Service and Web Page Dialog Ads: These are a new breed of popup ad.
* Block Banner Ads: Remove all the clutter of all the flashing banner ads.
* Kill Spyware and AdWare programs: AdsGone can detect and close trojan/virus spyware programs that serve ads.
* Blocks ads from other programs: AdsGone also blocks ads and popups when using Kazaa, Morpheus, Gator, or Chat programs like ICQ, MSN, AIM, or Trillian.
* Block Macromedia "Flash" ads: These large animated ads take up half the screen.
* Automatic Updates: AdsGone periodically downloads new ad blocking data once in a while. This keeps AdsGone current with the latest advertiser tricks and spyware/adware detection.
* Configurable: You can customize which ads to block or allow, play sounds when popups and ads are blocked, check ad blocking logs, see ad blocking statistics and much more...
