The Panicware Pop-Up Stopper Free Edition has not been updated in
almost a year. In Feb 2004, the person that founded Panicware and
created all the Pop-Up Stopper products was forced out of the company,
and Panicware subsequently terminated the entire development team.
The new team, led by the creator of Pop-Up Stopper formed a new
company called SuperAdBlocker.com - www.superadblocker.com
The new product allows you to have a toolbar, or not, and blocks all
pop-ups, flash ads, ad banners, rich media, fly-in, slide-in, etc.
Super Ad Blocker has received rave reviews from CNET, SpywareInfo.com,
SnapFiles.com and www.popuptest.com
You can use the discount code GOOGLEGROUPS for a 20% savings on any
purchase from the SuperAdBlocker.com
You can try for 30-days for free, might be worth a shot.
