Some sites have declared that popup ads are not allowed on them. Google not only has prohibited popup ads, but also has embedded the simple popup blocker into Google ToolBar. Other sites continue to show pop-up ads...
There are a lot of programs to stop popup ads. Usually they are called like popup killer (stopper, blocker, filter, eliminator) etc.
AntiPopUp for IE is a new generation pop-up killer, which provides efficient pop-up and pop-under stopping technology and acts as Internet Eraser (Web Tracks Cleaner) also.
AntiPopUp for IE has the following features:
- AntiPopUp is an intelligent pop-up killer. It does not stop all new windows as they occur or interfere with web navigation. It uses the smart identification engine, which recognizes only sponsor's pop-up windows and stops them automatically.
- In those infrequent cases, when identification engine incorrectly recognizes some window, you can add one in the Close It List or Allow It List to correct these malfunction.
- AntiPopUp does not interfere with opening new windows or other web navigation.

Since version 1.11 AntiPopUp becomes an universal pop-up killer. The only thing you should make is to instruct AntiPopUp what windows it should close. It is a simple single-click action: press and hold down the Shift key then click an unwanted window. AntiPopUp will close such window next time automatically.
There are two sources of popup ads - usual web-sites with pop-up advertisements and some programs stealthy
running on your computer. Such programs are secretly installed by some free programs without your knowledge
and permission. We shall name such programs StealthWare.
There is excellent Mike Tuck's review "Adware
and Under-Wear - The Definitive Guide"
about StealthWare. Also pay attention to CounterExploitation
site. There is a lot of interesting information about adware, spyware etc.
AntiPopUp has internal StealthWare Detector. It is the first and unique pop-up killer
which not only stops pop-up ads, but also prevents your computer from popup-generating software.
It is strongly recommended to clear your computer from all suspicious programs if AntiPopUp has detected
StealthWare. You can use
Pest Patrol to remove such programs. Click
