Pop-Up Stopper stops ALL popups, that are encoded in the same manner (ie, launch a window from within a link or site) but it doesnt stop popups generated from a windows API environment from programs such as ad-supported software. I used to use Pop-Up Stopper before I found PopUp Manager (www.endpopups.com). One thing that became increasingly annoying w/ Pop-Up Stopper and other similar software is that you (the user) had to make allowances to make popup windows available. The even more frustrating part was that if you did temorarily disable the popups then surfed to another site you end up seeing all the popups agian untill you re-enable it. PopUp Manager on the other hand blocks all the ads and none of the pop ups it shouldn't. It even does a great job for the ad-supported software. (how does it know? i don't know) But I like visiting forumns and having the popup blocked yet the little similes selector popup comes through just fine and all w/ out extra fiddling or twiddeling from me. I couldn't be happier with PopUpManger.... my 2cents. -Francisco http://rcm.netfirms.com On Thursday, August 07, 2003 8:00 AM [GMT-8], Rocky Smolin - Beach Access Software <bchacc at san.rr.com> wrote: : I've been using pop-up stopper for quite a while so haven't needed to : evaluate any others.
