MagicBlock for Windows

Used MagicBlock for Windows?

Developer’s Description

Blocks the magicJack Softphone window from popping up every time your phone is used.

MagicJack is a inexpensive VOIP phone service - but its user interface gets annoying. I made this program to block (keep minimized) the magicJack popup window and regain control of my Desktop. magicBlock doesn't interfere with the usage of magicJack - it just stops the popup window from disrupting whatever the phone is activated. When magicBlock is enabled, the sparse functions offered by the magicJack window are still available by right-clicking over it's tray icon (the little icon by the clock). The installation program will add this program to your Startup folder so it automatically runs when you start your computer.

Version 1.2 include ability to retain focus on current window after MagicJack popup occurs.

Pros
I didn't even get to use it. So...none.
Cons
Conduit wrecked my browser. I've tried everything at my disposal to get rid of it and it's still on my computer.
Summary
Don't Download!
DO NOT DOWNLOAD! CONTAINS MALWARE!

Pros
It stops magicjack from opening.
Cons
DO NOT INSTALL THIS PRODUCT! I declined the installation of third party applications but it installed a "connect" toolbar anyway. This toolbar opens random windows when it wants to and has its own ads that float on top of any website I go to. It also changed my homepage on all of my browsers to search.conduit.com. Whenever I open ANY website my McAfee pops up with a warning asking if I really want to install various .exe files. Oh yea and it completely prevents magicjack from launching when I start my computer.
Summary
w/WinXP Home -Its like a bad joke. Now need MB blocker.

Pros
Windows XP Yes, it keeps the main pop up window from popping up.
Cons
A dialogue still appears to answer or not. Now Magic Block itself pulls you out of full screen mode to tell you the MagicJack popup was blocked. What s the point of that? Now I need a Magic Block block. It's like a bad joke.
Summary
Useless.
Substitutes one popup for another.

Pros
It does block the MagicJack popup.
Cons
A donation popup comes on when opening an internet browser. The donation continues to popup even after a donation is made.
Summary
This MagicJack popup blocker is annoying and not worth installing.
Did the job.

Pros
It did what it said it would do. It blocked MagicJack from popping up. It's free.
Cons
In Win 7 if I'm in one app and then click on another one in the task bar, the icon of the one I was just in blinks. Annoying. Also, if I want to access the MagicJack control and therefore try to exit MagicBlock, MagicBlock hangs.
Summary
It works okay, but does annoying things. I've had better luck with MagicSilence, which is a paid program, but inexpensive.
Kinda works on win 7

If your doing something like a game and get a call, It takes you out of the widow ALL the time. WIN 7 and brings you to desktop. VERY VERY ANNOYING!!!
Summary

Pros
This program keeps the annoying MJ window from appearing every time I get a call and this program is FREE.
Cons
None so far.
Summary
I would recommend this to anyone that wants to keep the annoying MJ window from popping up when a call comes in. After installing MagicBlock, I had to restart the MJ program. After that the popup was stopped.
WORKS GREAT!

Great product, but unstable on Windows 7.
SteelersFan22May 5, 2011
Pros
Works just like the programmer said it would!
Cons
Unstable when attempting to unblock MagicJack popup window. Freezes and I have to restart both magicBlock and magicJack.
Summary
I ended up uninstalling it in the end and using magicSilence, available on CNET for free.
