Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This isn't your father's pop-up blocker. SQusi Tracking Plus watches your browser and halts all Flash-based content, but a rare bug forces some users to reboot their systems.
The toolbar pull-down interface is a snap to use. The few program settings are right on the menu. A couple of settings pop out from simple dialog boxes. We found sQusi most helpful as a Flash blocker. Start it, and you'll never see another Flash ad. You'll also never see Flash-based content you may want to view from sites such as YouTube. However, it just takes a trip to the toolbar menu to temporarily pause or disable sQusi.
We found the Web site white lists and blacklists very effective and easy to use. The utility also cleans your browser cookies and cache. Unfortunately, cleaning is set manually and can't automatically run at browser close. Some Windows XP SP2 users may suffer from a bug that causes sQusi to disappear from the tool tray. The primary fix is to reboot the operating system.
Anyone who uses the Internet and wants to surf without pop-ups is going to like sQusi. It's easy to install and use, and the free registration takes only an e-mail address.

Version: sQusi Tracking Blocker 1.04.0005
Pros: Cleans cache and cookies; blocks adware so well that I really don't have to use AOL Spyware or Ad-Aware SE anymore.
This product should be part of every computer user's arsenal against unwanted and unsolicited flash and adware.

Version: sQusi Tracking Blocker 1.04.0005
"Amazing; I can finally get to the site content minus the ads/flash/annoying CRAP"
Pros: What I like most about sQusi is that I can finally get to the site content. All I want to do is visit my favorite sites and read the content--is that too much to ask!? I'm tired of being held-up by embedded flash advertising, tracking, etc. sQusi has made it possible for me to get to the site content...minus the ads/flash/annoying crap. sQusi will make your browsing experience a whole lot better.

Version: sQusi Tracking Blocker 1.04.0005
"Works and the price is right"
Pros: The publisher's approach is to have an install and forget approach. No user futzing with white and black lists etc. The blocking db is updated regularly and it works as advertised. Surprisingly responsive email support. Worth a try.
Cons: Power users are going miss being able to customize. It does not work 100% with IM ads (nor does it claim to), file size is big. Has email nag for registration--but haven't gotten any emails.
