This free pop-up blocker takes care of its business but omits a few common perks found in similar applications. Hitware Popup Killer Lite's feature set is rather anemic. You can choose to allow pop-ups from certain sites by manually adding their URLs to a whitelist, but you can't do so via a quick hot-key combination. Also, although the app can alert you to blocked ads by playing a sound or flashing in your taskbar, you won't find a log file for viewing a list of eliminated pop-ups. The program tackles just about all standard pop-ups with ease, although it can't put down Flash or banner ads. Still, since this app's performance is mostly good and it doesn't cost anything, we can see how it will be an attractive option to Web surfers who just need a pop-up blocker and nothing else.

Pros
once you download it, configure it, its always there in the background, doing what its suppose to do, and no problems, runs all by itself...
Cons

Pros
I'm surprised it didn't get more feedback. It blocks the annoying windows pop-ups perfectly. I am very satisfied.
Cons
Summary
stopped popups right away

Cons
Summary
Popup applications are antequated software!
Chainmail2006August 25, 2007
Pros
A few years ago an effective popup killing application was a useful tool. Now days, any good web browser or toolbar for such come with built in popup blocking capabilities. Leaving these stand alone popup applications, unnecessary, antiquated programs for the majority of web surfers. This one thinks it can replace some firewall program functions which isn't true. It's just my opinion, but this program and other similar applications are a waste of time for the majority of home computer users..

Pros
nothing
Cons
Not only will it not stop the popups, but it changes your homepage and locks up your computer. This was a waste of my time!!!
Summary

wee_megJanuary 10, 2006
Pros

Cons
it doesnt block all
Summary
Rather weak. Needs some improvement.
BormannOctober 1, 2005
Pros
Free intelligent pop-up killer, and it's one of the very few in this category that works with Win95. If you've a newer OS get the latest version of Smart Popup Blocker instead.
Cons
It'll effectively kill some pop-ups, but, unfortunately, will let some very annoying ones get through.
Summary
As good (or better) than several I purchased!
irv899June 3, 2005
Pros
Easy to use, requires little memory, allows for a white list & is as good as 2 I previously purchased online! (1 was a subscription & I decidied that one wasn't worth the yearly cost!) I'm running it on all 3 of my win2k systems with no problems! Great product, & it's <p>FREE!
Cons
Summary
Didn;t work with me either!!!! You get what you pay for!!

This program did not stop any popups in the week that I used it. I appreciate free software but it's nice when it actually works.

Developer’s Description

By Giant Matrix

Get rid of annoying pop-ups appearing as browser windows and Messenger Service dialogs.

Hitware Popup Killer Lite is an intelligent pop-up- and pop-under-ad killer. Running in the system tray, it quietly eliminates all unwanted ads even before they appear and prevents them from stealing bandwidth or locking up your browser. You can choose to be notified via an animated tray icon and/or sound whenever a pop-up window is closed.

The program also can help you get rid of annoying IP-based messenger pop-up ads. These pop-ups abuse the Messenger Service, which is intended to send text messages across a network, using the IP address of the computer. They can appear as a dialog box on your desktop if you have the Messenger Service enabled and are not using a firewall. Hitware Popup Killer Lite will display the current status of the Messenger Service and allows you to enable or disable the service with a simple click. Version 3.1.1 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.
