Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This fine pop-up blocker won us over with its effective performance and unexpected extra features. Since Super Ad Blocker sits in your system tray and can be added to your Internet Explorer toolbar, it's convenient to access no matter what you're doing. The application's logically organized main window is split into tabs for ad blocking, history cleaning, cookies, statistics, notification, and options. In our tests, the program did an excellent job of quashing all types of pop-ups, banner ads, and Flash ads when using both Internet Explorer and Firefox. You can add allowed sites to a whitelist. This program's antispyware tool performed quite well, stopping the vast majority of adware that tried to run on our system. The malware scanner also did a decent job. Beyond its prowess with pop-ups, Super Ad Blocker also lets you clear your Web-surfing and Windows histories. You also can have the program play one of several sounds when an ad is eliminated, and you can view statistics on blocked-ad types and frequencies. Users who need a high-performance pop-up blocker, spyware protection, a history cleaner, or all three certainly will benefit from this program.Publisher's description
From SuperAdBlocker :Super Ad Blocker blocks all forms of advertising, including Flash ads, rich media, fly-ins, slide-ins, pop-ups, pop-unders, spyware and adware ads, and messenger ads. The program blocks major spyware applications, sponsored search-engine ads, and Gmail-sponsored links, and it includes advanced privacy-cleaning and automatic updates, so the product is never out of date. Super Ad Blocker provides detailed statistics for the number and type of ads blocked. The application plays a fun sound when an ad is blocked to celebrate your victory.
Version 2.0.1048 now includes, as a bonus feature, the integrated SuperAntiSpyware scanner to provide an additional line of defense against spyware/adware/malware applications by allowing users to remove and quarantine harmful items. This works in conjunction to the real-time blocking to provide an additional layer of protection.

Version: Super Ad Blocker 2.0.1048
"___Much more than just a pop up blocker !"
Pros: Not only does it do a great job of blocking banner ads and popups, it is an all in one utility. It has a very good spyware scan and remover, and it is a registry cleaner also. I can't believe anyone would give Super Ad Blocker bad reviews unless they were paid off by the competition. This program does every thing it is suppose to -and more. I recommend it ,and give Super Ad Blocker 5 Stars.

Version: Super Ad Blocker 2.0.1048
Pros: The product can block all pop-ups, including those from your browser, and some from your desktop that may be from adware. The product also has an adware/spyware/malware remover, which helped me remove Websearch, Delfin, betterinternet, Virtual Boucher/Spywarelabs, and many more. It also does not take up much disk space to run.
Cons: You also need to download Ad-Aware, as the registry keys and files are gone, some new keys may be added. Ad-aware can remove this. Otherwise, great program, and highly recommended.

Version: Super Ad Blocker 2.0.1048
"Excellent support - New version resolved problem that I had with Windows'98..."
Pros: 1.) A support team that responds fast, and takes the trouble to resolve problems.
2.) Program works well as publicised...
3.) I have found the recent version to be very stable and uses less memory on my system then earlier versions did...

Version: Super Ad Blocker 2.0.1048
"Onlk¿y SuperdAdBlocker detected and purged a pesty "ngpw36.exe"¿"
Pros: Since 2 weeks I was exasperated. Every minute or so Internet Explorer bounced to live with an unsolicited URL, interrupting my Word processing or video watching. Via the Windows Task manager I found the culprit, and located it in Windows System32. A program called ngpw36.exe. To no avail I tried every trick to remove it, applied every know Ad or Spyware removing program, even the new Microsoft Antispyware Beta.
Looking via Google on information about this ngpw36.exe pest, I learned about SuperAdBlocker. I bought it, tried it, and it worked!!
SuperAdBlocker retrieved and removed 4 ads programs not detected by any one other software, and blocks whatever new program pops up.
Now my computer is once again behaving friendly! You restored my peace of mind and saved me a lot of time. Kudos. You are really SUPER! I am an heavy computer user since 14 years. And never before in my live I wrote to a software producer. But today, I feel it as a sacred duty. You can use my testimony if you like . You deserve it!

Version: Super Ad Blocker 2.0.1048
Pros: This is one of the few trials I have downloaded where the software did what it claimed it would do. It also wasn't a big pain to try to figure out how it worked. First, the popup blocker and web page image blocker works just great. You can block or allow images on a web page and it saves the settings. I love that feature. Second, the spyware scanner and remover found 5+ bad things on my hard drive that I had NO idea were there and probably would never have known about. Lots of features, many that aren't even mentioned on the web page.
Cons: Price seems a little steep at first because it is advertised mainly as a popup blocker. However, the spyware blocker and image blocker features alone make it easily worth the purchase price.
