Popup Block blocks all unsolicited popup windows from appearing while browsing with Internet Explorer. It saves you time by providing you with an annoyance free web surfing experience.
Popup Block works by integrating directly with Internet Explorer, to stop popups before the windows even become visible. This means: no flashing, and no wasted bandwidth waiting for ads to download.
When a popup window is blocked, Popup Block can notify you by flashing its tray icon, playing a sound, or just doing nothing at all. A logging system is built-in, which can inform you of sites that tried to display popup windows. Popup Block also supports "whitelist" functionality, allowing you to allow popups from specific web sites.
One of Popup Block's most valuable features is its ability to block floating DHTML floating advertisements. These ads are becoming more and more common, since they don't annoy the user by popping up new windows, they simply annoy the user by making sound, or hiding text on a web site.
