Publisher's description of Stop-the-Pop-Up Lite
Stop-the-Pop-Up Lite is a free pop-up blocker preventing all annoying pop-up windows from appearing as you surf the Web. The pop-up stopper has full support for both pop-up and pop-under ads and will kill them even before they appear on the screen. Each time a pop-up is closed you will hear a cute sound effect. To allow pop-up windows, you can temporarily disable the pop-up killer by holding Control, Shift, or 'a'. Another Stop-the-Pop-Up Lite feature is its ability to kill all pop-ups from file-sharing programs as well as from the spyware and adware that is bundled with these peer-to-peer programs. Stop-the-Pop-Up Lite supports Kazaa, Kazaa Lite, Morpheus, Grokster, iMesh, Xolox, and Direct Connect.
Stop-the-Pop-Up Lite also will kill the new breed of pop-ups called Messenger Service spam. Messenger Service pop-ups can spam you even when your browser is closed. Stop-the-Pop-Up Lite recognizes and kills hostile ActiveX controls from companies known to develop spyware or adware.

Version: Stop-the-Pop-Up Lite 2.56
Cons: The first, it brings adwares.
The second, it sucks and downs very frequently.
The third, it cannot distinguish the pop-ups caused by click and the automatic ones.

"Works Perfectly, No Toolbar, No Bugs."
Pros: I've heard the adware accusations and I have to say, I cleaned my system thoroughly before installing. After installing, there was nothing.
This program is fantastic. It's no frills, no search bar, no toolbar clogging up IE... Just a nice little unassuming icon in your taskbar. It does exactly what it says.
Cons: ...I forget (a lot...) to hold the shift key to open pages. And that the Control key allows for java-pop up's...
But that's me being stupid, not the program.

"works but installs tracking cookies"
Summary: Another user pointed out that if you run ad aware (a spyware eliminating program) before and after installing this pop-up program, you will find spyware on your computer. It does in fact install tracking cookies, but it does work.

Summary: Stop the pop up is the most amazing program I`ve ever used to eliminate pop-ups. We`ve all had those 'unwanted' porno pop ups and what not, I`ve not seen one for months with this program. For some of the other people who left comments about it being... read more >>
