Popup Killer Agent 6.4

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This pop-up blocker offers a number of configuration options and a URL blacklist, but it proves deficient in blocking pop-ups and exhibits a tendency to disappear. After a speedy installation, Popup Killer Agent launches on the desktop with the settings window open. You can configure the sound, add URLs to the blacklist, and set up specific pop-up filters. From Popup Killer Agent's tray icon you can launch Internet Explorer, choose configuration options, or access a content area called ShortSearch. In our pop-up blocker tests, Popup Killer Agent performed poorly, letting a majority of test pop-ups through. Also, because Popup Killer Agent doesn't install a program group on the Start menu, it becomes difficult to restart if you quit the application. We cannot recommend this pop-up blocker because of its poor functionality.

Publisher's description

From searchvalue.com :

Popup Killer Agent is a revolutionary, easy-to-use program that eliminates unwanted and annoying pop-up advertisements. PKA distinguishes itself because its intelligence and flexibility allow the program to identify, block, and terminate all types of pop-ups before they even appear. The whitelist and blacklist allow or disallow Web sites at your whim by providing options for entering the absolute or partial URL for smart pattern-matching. The blacklist also can serve as a parental control to protect your children. Hot-key functions are included, and Popup Killer Agent runs as an icon in the system tray, notifying you through animation or sound each time a window is terminated. A history of the windows killed is also logged for later review. PKA can eliminate pop-ups for both Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer.
