3.0 out of 5 stars Pop-Up Stopper does the job for the most part....., October 24, 2002

I just installed this software a couple of days ago and it actually does stop pop-up ads while playing a cool sound-byte of your choice (such as a bomb exploding, toilet flushing, etc...) The only disappointing thing that I found out AFTER I installed it is that it only works with Microsoft Internet Explorer and NOT with Netscape. Also, it does not work with the AOL built-in browser, so if that is your primary means of surfing the net (like it is for me), then this software won't help you. ... This is the info I wish I had before I purchased this software.

4.0 out of 5 stars It works quite well, July 9, 2003

This is the main program that I use to stop pop ups and I've found that it works very well for both Internet Explorer and Netscape. I also suggest downloading the "Spybot" software which will help prevent some pop-ups that are based on what sites you are surfing (Spybot blocks their spying capabilities) as this is the one area where I've found that "Pop-Up Stopper" doesn't always work.

1.0 out of 5 stars Has a mind of it's own., March 13, 2003

This gizzmo catches about 1 of 4 pop ups and unders. Gambling ads have it completly flumoxed. It seems to be able to choose if it will load when you log on. Sometimes it will actually ID your home page as a pop up and stick you inside of some kind of a loop. My suggestion? With pop ups be coming more and more annoying, some software co. has to working on a better product.
Be patient.
