CNET editors' review
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: sQusi Tracking Blocker 1.07.04
Pros: Blocks 90% of stuff that you hate
Cons: if you browse some webbies you need to tell it to let them on, such as userfriendly.org is blocked until you tell the program to allow it.

"This program is like a stealth addiction."
Pros: It works away in the background and you get used to seeing faster loading and cleaner pages. Like all addictions, when forget to resume blocking you suddenly realize how horrid browsing has become with Doubleclick, Valueclick and all the other stalkers.
For me this program is a shield. I cannot imagine doing without it. Plus, much to my surprise, support for this free app is better than the paid ones I have-- I got intelligent responses within 10 minutes of an email.
Whoever you are sQusi guys, can you move on now to spyware and adware protection please?

Version: sQusi Tracking Blocker 1.07.04
"Does not prevent "pop ups" and once on your computer you cant remove it!"
Pros: It is very good at cleaning your cache but it allows them right back. I have never had as many pop ups as I have now and this program does not prevent them.
Cons: I dont like the fact that I cant remove this program from my computer. When I try it says the removal can not be finished.

Version: sQusi Tracking Blocker 1.07.04
Pros: It does everything I want it to and more. No effort on my part.
Was using superadblocker until I found it wasn't free (silly me I thought it was --see my review). This program is even better for me just install and go. This one also gets rid of the dancing cowboys and stupid loud music on myspace but it's free. So I've saved myself 30 bucks.
Cons: none
