Pop-up Killer Review

 
 

Last updated: Sep 9, 2005



A quote from ChekIt's site:

Enhance Your Internet Experience
CheckIt 86 is a revolutionary application that makes your Internet surfing experience faster, and less annoying. CheckIt 86 runs in your system tray, and monitors the web browsing traffic in Internet Explorer. When it detects that the page your are browsing will disrupt your experience, it will block the request. At any time, CheckIt 86 can be disabled if it blocks content that you actually want to see.

Protect Your Privacy
No one wants their personal space invaded, and that's exactly what most hackers and web site owners are trying to do with pop-up and pop-under ads. CheckIt 86 not only blocks these annoying invasions of your privacy, but it does so without sending any personal information, or web surfing habits to anyone else including Smith Micro. CheckIt 86 also keeps a log of web sites where content was blocked and keeps a running tally of the number of ads that have been blocked.

Integrated With Internet Explorer
CheckIt 86 is tightly integrated with your Internet Explorer browser in order to give you the best Internet surfing experience possible. Because of this integration, Netscape Navigator is not currently supported.
