A quote from Popup Killer and Tracks Eraser's site:

Get rid of annoying unsolicited popup windows!

Simply blocking all pop-ups will lose some great features of web sites and interfere your normal browsing. Popup Ad Zero is so smart that it can identify and block all kinds of advertising popup windows and keep the "good" pop-ups when you are surfing online.
