Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREECNET Editors' review
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,Flash ads, and Google 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 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 Super Ad Blocker.
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 over 100,000 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and Gmail-sponsored links, and it includes advanced privacy cleaning and automatic updates, so the product is never outdated. 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. The scanner features a kernel level driver designed to help detect and remove 'rootkit' style infections. The ad-blocking now blocks IntelliText ads that appear on Web pages as double underlined words that show a window when hovered over.
Version 4.4.1012 adds full Windows Vista support as well as a 40% faster anti-sypware scanner.

"Kills website revenues by 100%."
Version: Super Ad Blocker 4.4.1012
Cons
people earn little money from advertising on their sites. Large mass of it is already consumed by web-hosting companies. Every website providing content eyes on advertising to make little money. I think if there is no-advertising at all and every one blocks ads, there will be very few people who will be interested in providing content

"From Slow To Slower"
Version: Super Ad Blocker 4.4.1012
Pros
It does in fact block all the ads.
Cons
The real problem with this program is that it is so busy scanning pages for ads, that the rest of the content of many (but not all) webpages is slowed up as the ad blocker scans and screens. I found that after some benchmark testing that cerain pages loaded FASTER, even with the large banner ads loading. The point of all this is to get webpages to load faster, and in that regard this product does not accomplish one of it's primary objectives.

"Works well - misses some flash - customer support ineffective"
Version: Super Ad Blocker 4.4.1012
Pros
Does a good job blocking most ads.
Easy to set and forget
Support responsive when they feel they can help
Cons
Misses some flash ads
Causes seemingly random crashes in IE6 and IE7 when closing browser window
Customer support can be rude and condescending. Denies problems reported in other reviews. Slow when they don?t want to deal with an issue. Be prepared for them to scan your system with some secretive process.

"Awesome !!!!!!"

"Frequent crashes, no customer support"
Version: Super Ad Blocker 4.4.1012
Pros
This software does block almost every form of advertising and popups.
Cons
Frequently crashes Explorer. Slows down computer, the task manager shows this software frequently consuming more than 50%. Computer very slow to start up- takes several minutes. Must be disabled to work with my online banking. Customer support ticket open for almost 3 months. They ran some sort of diagnostic program six weeks ago and have not responded since.

Pros
easy to use

"Internet connection get's blocked"
Version: Super Ad Blocker 4.4.1012
Pros
I loved it when i could actually play a online game at a site that has powerfull
advertising, flash ads and block them. These kind of ads slows or freezes your
online play. However these annoying ads and flash banner's were no match for
this program. easy to use.
Cons
The blocker would block my internet connection and many programs. Even if you
exit or allowed programs,or downloads most of the time the access remained
blocked. This program must be configured with firewall's to prevent blocking of
your program's. Still a great software, but trial period is to short.

"Highly effective, maybe too much, I don't know yet, since I'm new to it..."
Version: Super Ad Blocker 4.4.1012
Pros
When used the software for the first time, my first impression was: "Oh Wow! A clean website at last!" I hate all kind of advertisements even on TV, on radio and from my mailbox. That's probably why I record my TV shows before I watch them so I can skip the commercials by pressing the "skip 30 sec." button a few times or pause the TV show while the show broadcasting for at least 30 min. and then resume and skip all the commercials. Meanwhile, my pitbull is watching my mailbox 24/24 and I never answer the phone :0) A few days ago, I downloaded this software as a trial and found out that it does a very good job in blocking pop-ups, pop-ups under, etc.. Then I decided to purchase a license..
Cons
None that I experienced yet.

"Still going strong!"
Version: Super Ad Blocker 4.4.1012
Pros
I have been using this ad blocker for a few years now. I recently upgraded to a laptop running Vista Home Premium. I did not have a chance to install the ad blocker on the new PC and very quickly found out that I missed the ad blocking so much that i had to redownload it and install it as soon as possible. I couldn't live without it.
Cons
No downside I can see, and I have been using it for a long time.
