12Ghosts Popup-Killer 9.30 is a Popup Blocker product from 12Ghosts.com, get 5 Stars SoftSea Rating, This program blocks pop-up windows opened by Internet Explorer, including those opened automatically by a script and links that open a new window. It also features a boss-key for any application. A history cleaner for Internet Explorer is included that removes history, cookies, and temporary cached files, as well as Windows history lists and temporary files.
A boss-key is useful when you need to hide certain windows quickly. For example it can hide the browser window - also from the startbar! (When you just minimize the window the title is still visible in the startbar.) One click, and nobody will see where you have been surfing.
12-Popup's boss-key can hide not just the browser but ANY window such as:
- Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera, AOL, ...
- Picture Viewers (IrfanView, ACDSee, etc.)
- Video Players (Real Player, Media Player, etc.)
- Audio Players (WinAmp, Media Player, etc.)
- Instant Messengers such as MSN messenger and ICQ
- downloads continue in the background without showing in your startbar!
The registered PRO version of 12-Popup allows you to keep sites of blocked popups. You can see which sites issued a lot of popups and easily add a site to the approved sites with one click. This works like a "white list" that allows sites to open popups, for example a site with a discussion group using popup windows. (Note that in the free LE version you need to hold down CTRL to allow single popups.)
With the option Always allow links to open in a new window you no longer need to hold down a key to allow a popup. When you click a link or select 'Open in New Window', 12-Popup "remembers" the click and allows the next popup window automatically.
Only available in the PRO version are also the extended Boss-Key, and further Delete Options for history cleaning:
Block ALL popup windows opened by Internet Explorer, both, those that are opened automatically by a script as well as links that open a new window.
NO black list you need to maintain

Blocks ad-supported programs from even starting Internet Explorer!
