Effective pop-ups with Super Popup Blocker

When surfing the web, sometimes you encounter pop-up advertising pages that suddenly appear on the screen, annoying and distracting at work. Internet Explorer (IE) browser has also integrated pop-up blocker, but not very effective. Now introduce Super Popup Blocker (SPB) software of Sagasoft, compatible with IE 5.0 and above.

This is considered an expert in 'handling' pop-ups, helping you focus more on your work. You can download the trial version of this software at http://www.shareware4web.com/spb40.exe to download, the capacity is only about 690 KB.

After downloading and installing, restart IE to integrate SPB into your browser. Once successfully installed, every time you start IE and surf the web, SPB will also start automatically and be under Windows system tray with a blue smiley icon. You can double click the program icon under the system tray to open the main interface with the following items (see picture):

- Enable , Disable : Enable or disable pop-up blocker.

- Options : Set up some important options:

+ Start when Internet Explorer starts : Start SPB when opening IE.

+ Start when Windows starts : Start SPB when turning on the computer.

+ Hotkeys : If you press and hold the Hotkey key (select either Ctrl or Shift) while browsing a website, SPB will not block pop-ups from that website.

+ Notification : Check those options to open the signaling function when SPB blocks a certain pop-up page. You can change the audio signaling sound available in the computer (.wav extension file).

+ Super mode : Check if you want to block 'stubborn' pop-ups. However, doing so may interfere with opening Hyperlink or making lists in Whitelist disabled.

+ Browser window : When checking this box, whenever a pop-up wants to 'jump', it will become a normal web page and be opened in a new browser window.

- Whitelist : Set up a list of non-pop-up websites (prevent SPB from being confused). To add a site to Whitelist, select New and type in the website address. If you want to delete, select Delete. In addition, you can add (Import) from a pre-created list from notepad (remember to save it as .ini).

- Adware : Sometimes the cause of pop-up is due to adware attached to files downloaded from the Internet. Use the program's built-in database to find and remove adware in your device. First, click Scan Now, wait a moment for the program to detect. If adware is present, select that adware and click Clear Adware.

- Privacy : When you surf the web, private information such as web pages viewed, passwords, cache . will be saved in the system. It is a loophole for adware to attack and create pop-ups. Use the Privacy function to delete this information in the system. However, this function is only available when you have registered to use the program.

- Blacklist : Similar to Whitelist but Blacklist is a list of websites that do not allow pop-ups.

- Help : See the instruction manual of the program.
