Description
Pop This is a small, simple, no-nonsense, pop-up-advertisement disabler for Internet Explorer. The software is free, easy to install, and easy to use. It stops 99 percent of all pop-ups, prevents browser-window resizing and movement, doesn't interfere with normal Web surfing, and features optional sound notifications and support for site exclusions.
Review
Though not the most straightforward utility, Pop This efficiently dispatches the most common pop-up windows. After installation, the program is so unobtrusive that it's hard to know whether it's working or not. The absence of a manual only makes things more perplexing, but eventually we found the program's controls hiding within Internet Explorer's Tools menu. Pop This only copes with the most frequently encountered pop-up windows, but it does the job thoroughly and without slowing down your PC. The interface leaves much to be desired--for instance, we couldn't immediately determine how to temporarily disable the utility for sites from which we wanted pop-up windows. A workaround is to add those sites to a whitelist. We'd recommend Pop This for those battling garden-variety pop-ups.
