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.
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...

I'm surprised it didn't get more feedback. It blocks the annoying windows pop-ups perfectly. I am very satisfied.

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..

Bormann
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.

As good (or better) than several I purchased!

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.
