Pop-up Killer Review

 
 

Last updated: Sep 9, 2005



A quote from SurfSecret Popup Eliminator's site:

PopupEliminator catches popup and popunder advertisements before they reach the browser window - so you don't have to download them! This prevents popups from leaving cookies on your system and using your precious bandwidth. PopupEliminatorT sits in the traybar, constantly blocking popups:
Integrated IE Toolbar
Netscape & Internet Explorer Support
Automatically Checks for new updates
Allow List Module
Windows 95/98/ME/2k/XP support
Context sensitive help system
Audio/Visual Notification
Flash Advertisment Blocking!
NEW! MS Messenger Service Popup Blocking!
NEW! SPYWARE/Adware Popup Detection!

PopupEliminator works without any user intervention! It sits in the traybar quietly until it detects that a popup is about to be spawned from a window. It then intercepts the window call and gracefully discards it. Try it out for 30 days risk-free and see what you think!
