Smart Popup Blocker 1.2 is an intelligent alternative to built-in popup blockers. Browser pop-up blockers work for most things, but if you want full protection from annoying pop-ups, try Smart Popup Blocker 1.2. This software is currently compatible with Windows Me, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT, and Windows 98. This program is only compatible with Internet Explorer at this point in time.
This software is set to block all unwanted pop-ups from web pages, as well as messenger pop-up spam. This advanced blocker blocks absolutely everything, while most in-browser popup blockers only block maybe 4 out of every 5 pop-ups.
The Smart Popup Blocker can also be taught to unblock certain wanted pop-ups. It is automatically trained to block only pop-ups that are not user-initiated, but the settings can all be changed. Often these types of software’s get in the way of web browsing, because many sites use pop-ups when you click on a link. Most pop-up blockers cannot recognize the difference between wanted and unwanted windows, so they just block everything. Smart Popup Blocker on the other hand is, for lack of a better word, smart.
Smart Popup Blocker 1.2 can also be used to speed up Internet Explorer. Every time you visit a site or do something online, a “cookie” is installed on your computer as a temporary file. Cookies are completely harmless, but when they build up they tend to slow down your internet browser. Smart Popup Blocker deletes old, unwanted cookies, and frees up space on your computer, allowing Internet Explorer to run at full speed.
Smart Popup Blocker 1.2 can be used by practically anyone. Set up is a breeze, and the program is set to start whenever Internet Explorer opens, so you don’t have to worry about manually starting it. Also, the software runs as an add-on to Internet Explorer, so it is simply added to the browser, and not added as a separate program.
This software is also able to allow pop-ups from certain sites. If you have a site that you visit often that has pop-ups, and you want to see them, you can simply add the URL to the allowed list, and pop-ups from that site will no longer be blocked.
This software is one of the best pop-up blockers around, and it is available on download.com, completely free. The full version is available for download, and there are no hidden fees or trials to worry about.
