Publisher's description of Smart Popup Blocker

From Smartsoft Tech:

Smart Popup Blocker can intelligently block pop-up ads and messenger pop-up spam, and speed Internet Explorer by optimizing settings. It also cleans cookies and guards your default Internet Explorer home page. The application resides in the system tray, works as an add-on of the IE browser, and automatically starts when you start up Internet Explorer.

Version 1.20 can block VBScript pop-ups.

Editor's review of Smart Popup Blocker

• "Smart Popup Blocker"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: Smart Popup Blocker 1.2

This absolutely standard, yet free pop-up blocker, worked quite well in our tests, but like many of its brethren, it is powerless against floating pop-ups. Smart Popup Blocker indicates its presence with a system-tray icon and will blink or emit a gunshot sound when eliminating a pop-up ad. If you occasionally want pop-ups from certain sites, you can temporarily disable the utility by holding the Ctrl key or by adding the URL to the Allowed list. However, we were somewhat disenchanted to discover Smart Popup Blocker works only with Internet Explorer. However, though the program takes more PC resources than we'd like, it didn't slow down computer use and Web surfing in our tests. The application also has a privacy feature that deletes cookies. If you don't need a full range of features for pop-up protection, this application will certainly do.

  "Not so good"

  by nsaintj on August 13, 2008

  Cons: Doesn't stop anything. The audio in pop-ups starts before the pop-up appears which is incredibly annoying. Don't bother.
