Editor's review of AdsBlock Pop-up Blocker Ad Stopper

3.0 stars

Pop-ups: yuck, right? AdsBlock Pop-up Blocker Ad Stopper claims to stop those nefarious ad windows, including those produced by adware. Unfortunately, its interface and performance leave much to be desired. In our tests, it blocked most pop-ups, but not all. For instance, it let in all floating ads. It also stopped some desirable pop-ups (windows we launched by clicking a link). The jumbled interface is not very convenient, and you can't directly add a site to the whitelist or the blacklist in Internet Explorer. All in all, AdsBlock Pop-up Blocker Ad Stopper doesn't represent a highly appealing option, especially now that IE has beefed up its own pop-up protection. You can find several other freeware blockers that work better.

"The best out there"

Pros: Blocks all ads, great for the problematic continuous pop up u keep getting, just go into the black list, add it to that, and you'll never get it again.

Cons: Not that many, the menu could be a little better organized but other than that, it's near perfect

"The best i've seen"

by ptrepanier on September 14, 2003

Summary: There are so many blockers, it's hard to figure out which one's the best. I've tried about 9 or 10 so far. This AdsBlock is a new program it looks like, but it works flawlessly. Blocks 99% of unwanted popups, most banner ads, and doesn't block th... read more >>
