Suppress pop-ups and make your Web-browsing experience more satisfying.
PopUpCop suppresses pop-ups and a variety of other surfing annoyances that can conspire to degrade the quality of your Web experience. This add-on for Internet Explorer 5.0 and higher will make your Web-browsing experience more satisfying. Recent versions have featured support for more types of pop-ups, including requests to change your home page, online help, and offers for an improved installation process.
we have had the product for many years. it is very customizable. it no longer works tho.
Cons
as of 2009, attempts to contact support have not been answered. also filed bbb complaint with no response back from company.
Summary
we recommend another product at this point since the developer (edensoft) appears to have gone out of business.
Excellent. Have used it for 5 years now on various systems.

Pros
Clean system. Settings allow clearing of browser cache and history automatically when closing browser. I really like the program.
Cons
Some features are redundant after upgrading to XP Pro from 98SE but that's still ok.
Summary

Summary
Unfortunately average
drumul
Pros
It used to work fine, or at least previous versions. Now, when clicking on a link or after doing an MSN search it crashes or rather restarts IE 6 instead of displaying the next page. If I disable it, IE doesn't crash. Uninstalled and re-installed to no avail. No longer a favorite. As well it doesn't block some back popup pages.
Cons
Tyhe toolbar options/settings rather than in the tray.
Summary
Good, until recently

Pros
Blocks ads very effectively, allows you to choose sites to allow ads/cookies from, very customizable.
Cons
Up until recently, it would clear the browser history, files, etc as I set it up to. Suddenly, it doesn't do this and I'm not sure why. I've had the program for a couple years and haven't changed these settings. Even reinstalling the program is not effective.
Summary
Easy, efficent and versatile to use

Pros
No more popups, layers or flash, if I so desire. Easy to change the settings, and to install. I have tried several popup blockers in the browser, but none have matched PopUp Cop's performance. I bought it 3 years ago and I still love it! Edensoft also, provides excellent personal technical support.
Cons
Summary
Tried many, Finally blown away by this little product

Pros
Like many I've been livin' on "free" blockers and "free trials", with little satisfaction. Either slowing down my system or locking it up completely. I know some products work differently for different people, different systems and different applications. I used this thing with Windows ME, which is pretty slow anyways. I've had alot of problems with system resouces slowing down before. It blocks what I want it to block, and if it doesn't know, It will ask you. Without taking those extras seconds or minutes (sometimes) to ask you! It was very simple to use. If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm very impressed, and for now, I won't be looking for another popup blocker. thanks.
Cons
Summary
I downloaded this program months ago and still love it.

I tried about 12 popup stoppers some free and some free trial and none has worked as well as Popupcop. I have 6 days left on trial but feel I will but since it has really quieted down my computer.
