Editor's review of PopUpCop

This pop-up stopper earns big points for its plentiful features and high degree of configurability. Before installation is even finished, PopUpCop lets you choose whether to play a sound when an ad is blocked and gives you options for eliminating animated images, background sounds, Flash movies, text marquees, script timers, and automatic window resizing. Though the interface is basically a browser toolbar, you'll find an enormous amount of detailed customization options, including those for disabling Java applets, ActiveX controls, and mouse tricks. Besides its prowess with all types of pop-ups and banner ads, the program includes utilities for clearing cached Web files and managing cookies. We also appreciated this app's efficiency, as it doesn't exact a toll on PC resources or slow down Web surfing. If you're looking for a pop-up blocker that goes above and beyond the norm, give PopUpCop a try.

  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.

  Unfortunately average

  by: drumul on 05-Aug-2006 04:48:49 AM

  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.

  Excellent. Have used it for 5 years now on various systems.

  by: O2AFAC67 on 29-Dec-2006 09:46:09 AM

  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.
