CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This pop-up blocker boasts all necessary features and demonstrates pleasing performance. Similar to most good programs of its kind, this one has both a black list for banning all ads from specific sites and a white list for doing the opposite. You also can permit pop-ups on the fly with the simple press of a hot key. PopupDummy sits in your system tray and emits a sound, blinks, and logs a URL whenever it beats down an ad. The variety of sounds in particular is rather impressive, ranging from the crack of a bullwhip to the slamming of a jail door. In our tests the program did a fine job of blocking most pop-ups and Flash ads, though it can't deal with banners. The cookie manager is a nice plus, but the 10-day trial is bit too chintzy in our book. Still, this utility is a better solution than many of the mediocre pop-up blockers flooding the market.Publisher's description

No setup is needed and it's fully effective. The application features a block list, sound effects, a safe list, the ability to hold down CTRL to bypass, and a cookie manager.

Version: PopupDummy 3.24
"Super Duper Pop-Up Protection"
Pros: Haven't seen hide nor hair of a pop-up since I installed this awsome, tiny program that loads quick and goes to work. If some kind of Ad-Ware gets through and generates pop-ups, a couple of clicks adds them to your blocked list. For those of you who love Windows 2000 and do not have an OS-supplied pop-up blocker, this is the one for you!
Cons: I have to push ctrl when I click on links in Outlook Express and sometimes in Yahoo IM, but maybe that is just a setting issue.
Summary: null
Version 3.293 now available.
