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 1.07.03
"sQusi Tracking Blocker is an awesome product. I highly recommend it to anyone."
Pros: Do you know what scares me about software? The word free. How can something that is free work as well as something that cost $50 or $100? I have always thought good software cost good money. Maybe I was wrong.
I am not all that computer savvy, but I knew something had happened. I must have visited the wrong site while surfing the net. For a few weeks, I was bombarded by pop ups. They came up just about as fast as I could close them. My frustration level with the World Wide Web could best be described as extreme.
Somebody had given me some free software.
I do not know who these people are. I must say that these people who smuggle ad-ware and such in to other peoples systems are good at what they do. What would happen if people like these applied their talents in a way that would make the World Wide Web a nice place to visit?
Some of them have. I searched and found this site I took the chance on some free software. What did I have to lose? I installed sQusi Tracking Blocker. Moments after installing I had my first question. I thought, Here we go. Everyone knows free software means absolutely no support. I clicked the contact link and sent my question, not really expecting an answer.
Roughly 10 minutes later and much to my surprise I had my answer. The next morning I had received another e-mail with additional information and a couple of suggestions to optimize my protection. I took the recommended actions and had a pop up free session for the first time in what seemed like forever.
Conclusions: Not all free software is bad software. Some free software comes with free support. Some of those talented people are working to protect me, for free. They are the sQusi Support team.
