This blocker + the one in IE 8 blocks every thing. IE's wasn't blocking everything so this little program has finished the job. I checked every single pop up test on the site passed them all.

I think it's an excellent app but I personally didn't find that much use for it. It was ok but too much for me, I don't browse many areas with a lot of pop ups anyway so I leave the simple pop ups to my browser, no need to go over board and use this. Still decent just not as useful as it may once have been I think.

Been using this product (as well as others from the author) for years now. As others have stated, just unzip, place in a folder in your programs folder and configure it to start with windows. You will have to 'TeachConfig' it on some pop-ups, but once the learning is over it does its job well. Highly recommend this to anyone who needs a pop-up blocker. Minimal fuss for a blocker. Note: This will not block "in-page" scrolling or popup ads. (But then again, what does that's free?)

Extremely useful Prog. Doesn't need installation,just unzip in any folder.I put it on my USBpen and use when work on library PC (their Firewall isn't so good as mine so you end up with a lot of Tabs for stupid Ads and it's a very hard job to close them one by one!). This Prog does it in sec and then won't allow them appear again. Shame that I discovered it so late. Highly recommended.

Great Program! Out of all the other pop up blockers, this one is the best! It blocked each and every one of the pop ups.

Nice Tiny utility to block the IE ads, I have tested this utility on www.popupcheck.com and it gives satisfactory result for common popups. It is a truly great utility. thanx for keeping it free.

For a small program 47KB it does a lot. I dont know of any other popup killers which will close popup windows that were already open and leave the user-selected windows in place. It includes 'TurnFlash', useful for browsing sites where they have too many Flash ads, and it can block the internal ads of Opera, DAP, etcetera. The options are not easily understandable, so i just select 'automatic' and let it do its thing. If the options were more like MSN toolbar or SP2 popup killers it would be 5 out of 5.

Almost all the tabbed browsers have built in pop-up blocker. But even then I find MYPopupKiller is needed to close highly annoying web page dialogs with its aggressive mode. Its small file with no installation. Works fine.

Very small download , installation defaults are OK , but plenty of options for later. Very effective and configurable. I've tried most of the 5* rated competition , but prefer this one. Hardly any resources used when running. It could benefit from a few additions such as an auto update feature and popup log, but hopefully they will come soon. I find it useful to use CustomiseIE from the same author so I can control it from the IE Toolbar easily.
