CNET Editors' review
Simple but efficient, this program can kill annoying pop-up messages and windows in a flash. ClickOff offers a nonobtrusive, uncomplicated interface that you can minimize to your system tray. In our tests, we found it easy to add a window or dialog box to ClickOff's list of triggers, since it automatically detects opened windows. You can specify additional parameters, such as which particular button you want to be clicked in dialog boxes; or if a window contains a certain text, you can configure ClickOff to use it as a trigger to automatically close the window. Novices will surely appreciate the easy-to-follow wizard for adding windows or dialog boxes that will activate ClickOff's features. All users who are tired of closing annoying pop-up windows and error boxes will truly find benefits from this free program.
Publisher's Description
From Softwarehq:
ClickOff is a program, which does a daily and very annoying task for you: click buttons on useless notification and error-messages. It is very easy to use: If a message like "Are you sure you want to exit" shows up, you start the window-detection of clickoff and point on the button you want to be clicked if the message shows up again - "Yes" in this case. If an ad-popup shows up it can be directly added to the list via hotkey or tray menu. Parts of a window title can be replaced by wildcards so that one entry can close several windows with similar titles. You can also set the text of message as a condition whether a button should be clicked or not. ClickOff waits in the system-tray next to your clock until one of its target windows shows up and then clicks the desired button. A browser popup will just be closed. Before a button is clicked or a window is closed, ClickOff can wait for a certain time allowing the user to click a button before it is automatically clicked.

Nothing at all.

"Especially great for those who use Avira Free antivirus"
Version: ClickOff 1.77
Pros
Execellent little tool that gets rid of annoying pop up boxes like Avira's nag screen, or for any other nag screen for that matter.
Light on resources and lightning fast you don't see the pop up screens, just a split second flicker on screen.Cons
Very occasionallly the stored settings in click off dissapear, but no biggie, you just have to reset the pop up screens you want clicked off.
I've been using this for 4 months and it has only had to be reset a couple of times, a minor issue.Summary
It's very useful for all those annoying pop up boxes from Windows, to Avira, to Malwarebytes post scan Notepad.
A great little tool, and a must have for those that love Avira but hate the update nag screen.......download it! -
"Very good software, sometime lifesaver"
Version: ClickOff 1.77
Pros
1. Very good at pop-up management
2. It gives me total control on what to close and what to show.
3. Takes very small system resource, almost none
Cons
1. Recently (Nov'07) program is crashing upon start-up. Not sure why
2. Need a global black list for troublesome website's URLs. Users can add and rank these URLs.

"Useability could be better"
Version: ClickOff 1.63
Pros
The program got rid of the dialogs in nearly all cases on my system.
Cons
Setting up a task is a rather long clicking-and-typing-procedure. That's why I prefer Buzof which has hotkey support.

"Excellent for my application."
Version: ClickOff 1.63
Summary
I don't ise Clickoff in the usual way. In fact I delete all the popop windows defined. We process a large number of Excel spreadsjeets automatically using a macro. We don't want all those Microsoft Excel windows that popup since the macros run unattended. Clickoff is just the ticket!

"This is the only program that does what I was looking for"
Version: ClickOff 1.63
Summary
Although this is a small program and have not really many features, the fact that can click away / close / minimize any program, window, or annoying msg on your screen is such a treat. I spent the hole day looking for something like this and this is the only one thing that did what I needed.
