Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Much more than a simple pop-up blocker, Ad Annihilator scores all aces. The program not only installs as a colorful toolbar in your Web browser, it also lets you access all functions via a right click. In our tests, the application capably killed all pop-ups, banners, and Flash ads we threw its way, and you can choose to block or allow all three types of ads from particular sites. We appreciate that Ad Annihilator can eliminate many banners or pop-ups at once by using a string or a specific keyword as a cue to block, and the ability to save your customized settings as a project is a nice plus. Once you switch to the advanced mode, you'll uncover a whole new world of functionality, as Ad Annihilator features an enhanced cache that lets you browse offline Web pages. If you're digging through a long list of offline sites, you can easily find what you're looking for by searching by name, content, and date. We can heartily recommend this program to those who need an ad killer, an offline browser, or both.Publisher's description

Version: Ad Annihilator 2.3.7
Pros: excellent tool for banner blocking. the most exciting feature is ability to point to the banner with the mouse, right-click it and choose 'block banner'. Not only does the banner disappear before my very eyes instantly, but it also suggests the dialog with the list of urls for possible banner addresses. My practice made me certain that this approach indeed works and is stunningly effective. Moreover the banner are not blocked forever, I can always bring any banners back if I wish
Cons: very few indeed

Version: Ad Annihilator 2.3.7
Pros: It is lights years ahead of other popup stoppers and supersedes all of them by its features. Ad Annihilator makes popup blocking (and unblocking if needed) very simple. I like that I can see a list of blocked popups from the toolbar button; not only can I see them but reopen and unblock them from there. If I notice that I re-opened an ads popup, it is a piece of cake to kill it again and forever pressing ctrl-alt-k. And I like that Ad Annihilator remembers that I wanted to block or unblock a certain kind of popups and next time it deals with them instead me and as I would have done it myself!
Cons: None are noticed

Version: Ad Annihilator 2.3.7
Pros: I never saw such an intelligent popup and banner blocker. No other blocker provides so a simple and intuitively understandable way to destroy ANY banner and popup window by right clicking it. Also, the great feature is ability to return any popup or banner back that is as simple as blocking. Highly recommended!

"I found the most efficient banner blocker in AA"
Pros: A nice program that blocks all banners on web pages. At last I started surfing the web without nagging ads. I always strived to find an efficient banner blocker and now I have found it.
