Publisher's description of Another IE Popup Killer

From FAD Software:

Another IE Popup Killer blocks pop-up windows (windows that don't have a menu bar) in IE and makes a beep when removing one. Pop-ups will not be blocked if the Ctrl key is pressed. It's not a super-pop-up killer that works in either low-level Hook or Hostfile mode; it works in Windows-level mode, so it's very stable as well as useful for many users who don't need an ultimate pop-up remover. Version 2.0 includes optimized arithmetic logic and autostart with IE or with Windows options.

The program's title says it all. Another IE Popup Killer is yet another pop-up killer for the Internet Explorer browser. The installation is almost invisible. The program launches its pinwheel icon into the system tray after displaying a tiny selection of settings, most of which are disabled. The trial version lets you set the program to start with Windows, play a sound, or flash its icon when killing a pop-up. If you press the Ctrl key when you click a link, the program allows that window to come through. Still, the program is not as powerful as it could be, especially in the trial version. You have to register to change the sound or the hot key. The default medium-sensitivity, which you can't change until you register, lets through an awful lot of ads and blocks some legitimate pop-up windows. When the blocker encounters a barrage of pop-up windows, it freezes temporarily. Registered users may find the capabilities of Another IE Popup Killer sufficient, but the trial version leaves much to be desired.

  "I am not impressed"

  by Laura on July 21, 2005

  Pros: Free

  Cons: Not very effective and good because:

  1) Many pop-ups simply slip through and still "pop up" :)

  2) Even those pop-ups that are blocked keep flashing on the screen obstructing my browsing and obscuring main window of the browser

  "Free - Effective - Simple to Use Simple to Remove"

  on November 24, 2004

  Summary: Simple to use, simple to remove if you decide you don't want it, and it's free. Just copy the icon into your user startup folder and your set. Hit CTRL while clicking on a link if you want to suspend the blocker - or right-click the icon in the sys... read more >>
