4.0 out of 5 stars Ad Mania No More!!!, February 16, 2005

This review is from: AdSubtract Pro (CD-ROM)

I always seem to see such annoying pop up ads all the time on the internet. It just seems to be such a constant problem. I really don't know why, but I guess it is just to get people interested in your progress. That just happens to so many of us all the time. It just gets a bit crazy. Yet, there are just so many programs that work quite well from several companies, and several internet companies that also have those programs including iwon.com, msn.com, and other places and software brands that don't do the trick. Intermute has definitely found a way to block most of those ads.

AdSubtract Pro, is a convient software that goes beyond previous or other companies and their programs with annoying pop-up ads. The software definitely can block all those annoying ad, as well as pop-under ads that can sneak by and go through other pop-up blocker programs. The software is very simple to install, and is very convient. It does a very good job at removing most of those ads, but not all of them. The filtering makes it also easy for you to save all you online logins without having to constantly reload your passwords for several websites you are logged to. It also checks your stats, and includes a online tester, and links to intermute.com, where you can try several other programs from intermute including SpySubtract Pro, and SpamSubtract as well.

Although this might cost a pretty penny, AdBlocker Pro really works very well at getting rid of most of thos annoying pop-up windows and banner ads. While many might choose other pop-up blockers because of their price, this is one software that really works like a charm.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worse than useless., January 10, 2005

Diego Banducci (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: AdSubtract Pro (CD-ROM)

This software failed to block most of the banner ads that show up in my.yahoo and interfered with other websites that I access on a regular basis, notably the Wall Street Journal, Forbes.com., and even amazon. I constantly found myself turning it off. Moreover, during the six months that I ran it, there was only one update.

That's not to say that I didn't hear from Intermute. They bombarded my inbox with advertisements for innumerable other products.

I have since moved to AdShield, which works much better.
