EMS Free Surfer mk II 2.1.026
W9x/ME/NT/2000/XP
Free
Location on CD: software/windows/browse/ems_freesurfer/

EMS Free Surfer is a popup window stopper that will kill those annoying, and increasingly visible, advertising pop-ups (can also stop animated GIFs and Flash). It has two surfing modes - natural and strict - that offer different levels of pop-up window protection.

The natural mode will close most common pop-ups and not interfere with your browsing. The strict mode closes any type of new browser window, legitimate or not - it can only be bypassed by pressing a hotkey on the keyboard. Free Surfer offers full IE Integration and lets you enter allowable pop-ups into a sites list with customisable rules.

Pop-Up Zapper 2.0.7
OS X 10.1+
5-day trial - updated
Location on CD: software/mac/browse/popup_zapper/

Pop-Up Zapper eliminates pop-up windows when you browse the Web. The program watches the activity of your Web browser and when it identifies a pop-up window, it closes it, faster than you could by hand. Pop-Up Zapper's counter on its Dock icon lets you see how hard it is working. You can enable it or disable it easily from the Dock menu or from the main window. The history can optionally be saved to a file. This update incorporates numerous fixes and enhancements.

Note: requires MS Internet Explorer ñ does not work with Netscape.
