Last updated: Sep 9, 2005



A quote from AD Killer's site:

AD Killer (v1.20) - Stop popup windows, block ad sites, remove banners, flash and image ads.

AD Killer is a small, effective, and intelligent anti-ad software product that can remove annoying ads without human intervention by using artificial intelligent and intelligent agent technologies.

This surfing companion features a smart engine that can identify possible ads and remove them even before you can see them.

Unlike other similar programs, AD Killer not only closes the popup windows, but also blocks ad sites, removes banners, flash and image ads!

Feature List:
* kill annoying popup windows.
* kill annoying ad sites.
* kill annoying ad cookies.
* kill annoying banner images.
* kill annoying flash ads.
* kill annoying images ads.

It seems this program blocks innocent sites!
