The MyPopupKiller utility displays the list of all opened windows of your Web browser, and closes unwanted popup and advertising windows. In addition, it can automatically hide the internal ads of Kazaa Media Desktop, Download Accelerator (DAP), and Opera browser.
The MyPopupKiller utility can operate in 3 different modes:
* Manual Mode: In this mode, MyPopupKiller displays the list of opened windows, and allows you to easily select and close the unwanted popup windows. The popup and ad windows are automatically selected, so you can close all of them in a press of a button.
* Automatic Mode: In this mode, MyPopupKiller automatically closes popup and advertising windows, according to what you select in the configuration screen. You can temporarily enable the popups simply by holding Alt (the default), Ctrl, or Shift key (according to the configuration screen)
* Aggressive Mode: In this mode, MyPopupKiller automatically closes all new browser windows, even if they are not recognized as popup or ad. In this mode, you cannot open new browser windows, unless you hold the Alt key.
This utility has 2 methods to recognize unwanted ads windows:
1. It can distinguish between normal windows and popup windows. most popup windows contains advertising or other unwanted content. However, if choose to automatically close all popup windows, some "good" popup windows may also be closed. In such case, you can hold the Alt key in order to temporarily enable the popups. You can also avoid closing good popups by adding them to the "Allowed Windows" list. You can add a window by its Web address, or by the window title.
2. It can recognize an advertising window if its title or Web address is found in the banned windows list. If you get an advertising window that MyPopupKiller doesn't recognize, you can add it to the ban list, and avoid that ad in the future.
MyPopupKiller supports the following Web browsers:
* Internet Explorer: version 5.x and 6.x
* Netscape: version 6.x and 7.x.
* Mozilla
* MSN Explorer (version 7.x)
* Opera (partly support): version 7.x (although it not really needed because Opera browser has build-in support against popups)
