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.
Publisher's description
From GCNet :sQusi, a free Web service for Windows users, ensures real-time protection against tracking cookies, scripts and files that advertisers use to track and profile you without your consent. sQusi automatically and selectively blocks annoying ads, cookies, flash objects, IntelliTXT links, web beacons, script files and other file types from sites listed in its continuously updated database which is automatically disseminated to all users. sQusi deletes non-essential cookies from Explorer, Firefox and Navigator with a single click. It also clears these files from the Explorer cache without deleting useful cached files from your favorite sites. sQusi stores no personal information, does not interfere with sites, and pages will usually load faster. A local database maintains personal black/white lists that override global database entries. Users can now couple collective knowledge to individual preferences. Version 1.06.2 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

Version: sQusi Tracking Blocker 1.06.2
"fantastic! I have sent all my friends and family links to this software."
Pros: It works silently in the background, causes no conflicts with other software (believe me, I have a lot of anti-adware & anti-spyware software on my computer), and works a treat leaving you to enjoy your surfing.
Cons: There is nothing not to like about sQusi Tracking Blocker. It does what it says it will.

Version: sQusi Tracking Blocker 1.06.2
Cons: First, could not install it on my computer with Windows 2003. Then decided to give it a try on my laptop with XP. Installed it there without problems but when started to browse the web the impact of ads was never reduced. I experience the SAME ADS when this program is loaded as when it is not. No difference!
