Publisher's description of Ad Arrest IE Popup Killer
Ad Arrest Popup Killer uses an advanced, 2-filter system to block pop-up advertising from Internet Explorer, Kazaa, Morpheus, AOL, Gator, and chat programs such as ICQ, AIM, Trillian, MSN, and Yahoo Messenger. It will also prohibit spam ads initiated through your browser by spyware, adware, and virus programs. The software requires minimal resources, and it will not conflict with personal firewall programs like ZoneAlarm or anti-spyware programs like Ad-Aware. Ad Arrest offers a simple hotkey system for managing your whitelist, so you can tailor the software to your specific browsing needs.

Version: Ad Arrest IE Popup Killer 2.1
Pros: It blocks some popups
Cons: I cannot recommen it to anyone because: 1) Popups keep flashing before my face before they are blocked which makes my computer very slow and wastes my time for nothing 2) It cannot separate good popups (when I explicitly click a link, for example) from bad popups that open themselves without my permission 3) If I enable temporarily the good popup that is blocked (see above), Ad Arrest never memorizes my choice and next time I click this link, it is blocked again. Besides, "recently arrested popups" list is always empty so I cannot enable it from there either

Version: Ad Arrest IE Popup Killer 2.1
Cons: This program blocked not one of the pop-ups in IE. It only blocks them after they've come up, and even then they just come back! Also, when I uninstalled it, twice, it didn't go away. This program is a huge waste of time and just makes the computer slower.

Version: Ad Arrest IE Popup Killer 2.1
Pros: it is a small file.
Cons: Blocked intentional popups (even blocked internet explorer from starting when i clicked it on the desktop), doesnt stop floating advertisments, I uninstalled it however its not gone. It still starts up when i start my computer and operates like normal. It also looks unimpressive.

Version: Ad Arrest IE Popup Killer 2.1
Pros: Let's you try it out before buying it, thank God as it would of been a waste of money.
Cons: Seems to work good the 1st time then is absolutely worthless after that with the same popups coming back up. Doesn't allow you to enter generic domains that you want to stop coming up. I'm deinstalling it off of my computer. A complete waste. Glad I did't pay for it.

Version: Ad Arrest IE Popup Killer 2.1
Summary: While this software isn't perfect it has low memory overhead and manual features that I like. I tried others and came back to this one.
