Description

Pop Up Blocker Pro Rich Media Ads Edition is a powerful security software that automatically blocks all forms of spyware and adware pop-up ads. This program is designed to provide advanced privacy protection technologies to ensure that your browsing experience remains safe and secure.

With Pop Up Blocker Pro, you can say goodbye to annoying pop-up ads that disrupt your browsing experience. The program blocks advertisements in the forms of inline videos, background sounds, JAVA applets, animated GIF files, and Macromedia Flash movies. This means that you can enjoy a seamless browsing experience without any interruptions.

The pop-up blocker has four types of pop-ups blocking: 100% pop-ups blocking, Pop-ups Block list, Pop-ups Block list with keywords, Limit windows opened. These features allow you to customize the level of protection you need based on your preferences.

The 100% pop-up blocking feature ensures that no unwanted ads will appear on your screen while browsing the internet. The Pop-ups Block list feature allows you to add specific websites or domains to a block list so that their ads are blocked automatically. The Pop-ups Block list with keywords feature allows you to block ads based on specific keywords or phrases used in their content.

The Limit windows opened feature limits the number of windows opened at once by closing any additional windows after reaching a specified limit. This helps prevent multiple pop-up ads from appearing simultaneously and disrupting your browsing experience.

In addition to its advanced blocking capabilities, Pop Up Blocker Pro also offers several privacy protection features such as preventing your home page from being reset by malicious software or websites. You can also go directly to URLs without being redirected through third-party sites which may contain harmful content.

Proxy settings are another important privacy protection feature offered by this software which helps protect against identity theft by hiding your IP address when accessing certain websites or services online.

Sound effect on close pop-ups is another useful feature offered by this program which provides an audible notification when an ad has been blocked successfully so that users know they are protected from unwanted content while surfing the web.

Disable auto suggest is yet another useful tool provided by this software which prevents search engines from suggesting potentially harmful sites based on previous searches made online thereby protecting users against phishing attacks and other malicious activities online.

Block messenger spam-pop up ads is one more added advantage provided by this software where it blocks spam messages sent through instant messaging applications like Skype or Yahoo Messenger thereby ensuring complete safety for users while using these applications online.

Version 5.0.1 comes with three new forms of spyware-pop up ad-blocking capabilities making it even more effective in protecting users against unwanted content while surfing the web.

Overall, if you're looking for a reliable security solution for keeping unwanted advertisements at bay while enjoying uninterrupted internet access then look no further than Pop Up Blocker Pro Rich Media Ads Edition!

Review

Though it's a bust as a pop-up squasher, this Internet Explorer-only ad blocker is decent at foiling Flash. In our tests, Pop Up Blocker Pro Rich Media Ads Edition let most pop-ups through. In the Stop 100% mode, it blocked all new Internet Explorer windows, even ones we opened ourselves. However, it did a fine job squashing Flash ads and banners. An ugly floating toolbar and a system-tray icon provide access to program settings and additional privacy features. The latter can not only delete your browser cache, history, and cookies, but it also can erase index.dat files with your personal information (usually impossible without restarting the system). They also can clean out Windows Recent files, temporary folders, and RealPlayer's recent files. However, we were puzzled at having to close all browser windows to execute these features. Given its mixed ad-blocking abilities, we'd use this program alongside more effective anti-pop-up software.
