Tired of annoying browser popups?
I found this little browser add-on to be
very useful. It does not block all advertisements; it
blocks irritating web site behavior that is often used
for advertisements. It monitors your interaction with
the browser to determine what new windows to block
based on a simple collection of rules. It can block
images, Java applets, ActiveX controls, JavaScript,
Flash, and many other potentially annoying techniques.
A small toolbar
in your browser allows you to configure its
behavior.

your system and inform you of what they find. They
