PopUpCop v2.5.0.33 WinALL

PopUpCop is designed to return control of your
browsing experience back to you. It does not
block all advertisements: it blocks irritating
Web site behavior, which is often used for
advertisements. Like the ideal of a real police
officer, it steps into a volatile situation and
uses just enough force to restore calm.

Because there are millions of very different
people using the Web, and because each may have
a different irritation threshold, PopUpCop is
completely customizable. A PopUpCop user can
choose what techniques and technologies to
block, from blocking nothing to turning off
images, Java applets, ActiveX controls,
JavaScript, and 15 other potentially annoying
techniques. Users also may want to change what
to block depending on where they are browsing.
To make all this flexibility easy to control,
PopUpCop features two key control mechanisms:
the Internet irritation indicator and the
Internet irritation level slider. These two
controls work together to provide information
about the techniques that a web site is using
and to make it easy for the user to block a
collection of techniques.

Unlike some of its competitors, PopUpCop does
not use site title or URL address matching when
determining what to block. It monitors your
interaction with the browser, and determines
what new windows to block based on a simple
collection of rules. It never interferes with
normal browsing and will never close the main
browser window. If you just want to block
popups, you can just install the program and
forget it.

PopUpCop is packaged as an Internet Explorer
toolbar add-in. After installation, it occupies
a small space on the user's toolbar. It safely
co-exists with other toolbar add-ins, like the
Google toolbar.
