I've said repeatedly that I don't agree with blocking ads (pop-ups and sliders excepted). I usually do not promote ad blockers except for pop-up blockers. This one time I will make an exception. This program includes the best pop-up blocker in existence.SuperAdBlocker is flat out the best ad blocking software I have ever seen. SuperAdBlocker blocks every known method of generating a pop-up ad, something I've never seen in a blocker program before now. It passed every single pop-up test I threw at it, including a few nasty ones included in 1st Page HTML editor (the so-called six buttons virus). Not even my beloved FireFox is that good.Something else I've never seen is the fact that it also blocks DHTML slider ads. You've probably seen these a few times. When a slider loads, it either slides in from the side or the top and looks like a new window and stays there until you dismiss it. It is part of the page, not a new window, so most pop-up blockers miss them. With the rise in pop-up blocker programs, many sites have started using these. Personally, I find those to be many times more annoying than a pop-up.SuperAdBlocker uses heuristics as well as a rules database to determine what is an ad. It is very accurate and it is very careful not to block things that are not ads. The database is updated constantly and the company always is looking for ads that slip past the program. It can be set to update itself from the company servers automatically so that new rules can be integrated almost as soon as they are created.SuperAdBlocker also blocks pop-ups generated by most adware programs. I've seen that in only one other program. It also scans the hard drive to look for installed spyware and will warn you if it finds any. It won't remove the spyware itself, but it will warn you that it is there. It even disables Windows Messenger spam.SuperAdBlocker also deletes the URL History from the Internet Explorer address bar, visited page history, cookies and temporary internet files.If you are looking for an ad blocking program, this is the one to buy. Simply put, this is the best ad blocker I have seen ... ever.Interesting.. *NOTE: These are not quotes from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
