PopUp Ad SmasheR is a lightweight Windows utility designed to improve the browsing experience by blocking the annoying ads which may appear while visiting various webpages with Internet Explorer.

The program sits quietly in the system tray until called upon when it reveals several configuration settings to tinker with.

PopUp Ad SmasheR sports a clean and straightforward interface that gives users the possibility to select the ads to be removed, namely pop-up, animated Flash, floating, message box, or dialog box ads.

What’s more, you can block third-party activity ads, and remove web bugs and cookies.

PopUp Ad SmasheR comes packed with several cleaning tools for helping you get rid of cookies, temporary Internet files, history links, address bar items, and search items. Plus, it is possible to apply cleaning filters by selecting the file types (TMP, LOG, MST).

The tool is able to automatically delete the files that were last modified or created, remove the items that are older than a specified time, as well as send the items to the Recycle Bin.

Other important options worth mentioning enable you to allow the selected pop-up ads to run, change the home page for Internet Explorer, as well as set up passwords.

Additionally, you can make the program notify you when ads are blocked or cookies are deleted, run the app at Windows startup, and play a sound when a pop-up is blocked.

During our testing we have noticed that PopUp Ad SmasheR carries out a task very quickly and without errors throughout the entire process. It manages to remain light on the system resources, so it doesn’t hamper computer performance.

All things considered, PopUp Ad SmasheR offers an intuitive layout for helping you block annoying ads and navigate securely on the Internet by deleting cookies.
