Powerful, no-nonsense pop-up protection utility that is guaranteed to provide annoyance-free web browsing at all times while it is on duty, effectively terminating all unwanted pop-up browser windows automatically.
SmoothSurfin` can be configured to start automatically when Windows is started and sits quietly in your System Tray, consuming very little resources, vigilantly standing guard against the ever-strengthening onslaught of annoying pop-up advertising windows that seem to be taking over the Web; allowing smooth, peaceful surfing at all times. Unlike other pop-up eliminators,
SmoothSurfin` indiscriminately targets and terminates ANY and ALL browser windows that attempt to open from within an existing one. You can enable or disable pop-ups at any time by one of several quick and convenient shortcuts. You can also hold down a special, user-defined hotkey to temporarily disable protection and allow a pop-up to open. The program also keeps a log of all urls in closed pop-ups in case you need to go back and see what you missed or add those urls or domains to one of the program`s two whitelists. The whitelists allow you to specify urls or complete domains from which you wish to allow pop-ups to open while protection is enabled. Integration with the Internet Explorer toolbar and context menus allow you to conveniently control the program while browsing the Web.
