This tool promises to put a stop to those pesky pop-up ads, but we never got it to work. Popup Purger doesn't offer much in terms of a user interface. It places a shortcut on your desktop and one in your taskbar.

Right-clicking on the taskbar shortcut brings up the settings menu. The publisher advises that you run a test through its Web site to make sure the blocker is working. We ran through the test and sure enough, the pop-ups were still there. No matter how often we tweaked the settings, the pop-ups still were there. A Help menu/FAQ is offered through the publishers Web site, and we followed the advice, but to no avail.

Stick to your current browser's pop-up blocker or find one that can actually get the job done. Popup Purger can't.

Featured Talkback

Why do so many (virtually all) software packages think that they are so important that they have to be started automatically every time the computer boots? What is the largest number of "speed access", "update check", "camera download" and whatever other background programs you have ever seen running? Of those, how many did you really need?
