Today is a sad day.
After numerous reports of problems with Internet
Explorer from many new PopUp Killer users I have decided to discontinue
my most beloved little baby.
At 6 years of age, the most popular ads control application is deceased..
Under other circumstances I would have tried to
figure out the cause of the problem. Unfortunately, the cause appears
to be related to a combination of factors that I just can't reproduce.
Problems with the setup, with the user's machines, bugs in Internet
Explorer, illegal (bootleg) versions of PopUp Killer floating around on
the internet, lack of support back from the users having this problem
and many other situations have made of this problem a disease that
affected PopUp Killer for about 3 months and finally, as any mortal
virus, took its life.
I would like to thank and express my most sincere
gratitude to the thousands of users who in one way or another offered
their support to make of this program the most popular and most used
application to control those nasty, annoying and intrusive popups.
It was fun while it lasted...
