My popup killer
I'm not sure if anyone remembers it, it was called "AdStop".

Anyhow, I'm remaking it from scratch (renamed "AdStealth") and it is much better. I'm hoping it can compete with AdAware.

It blocks popups but also scans your system for spyware and cleans out temporary files etc.

Here's a piccie....any comments?

Dear Paul, looks good.

Would it be possible for your application to list all current window titles

so an end user could just select from the list vs typing in a window title

to block / add ?

Any beta versions you care to share for testing ?

I run Win XP home ed and 98 and NT4 and Win 2000 pro.

Is this c++ code ?

Thanks cornball

Yep it does that. The "Grab" button opens a dialog and lists all IE and Mozilla/NS window titles.

I'm currently still working on the application but when it's done I'll post some information on a demo/beta.

FWIW - I was running AdStop for a while and the only suggestion I've got is having it *automatically* save settings when the pop-up name is added. More times than once I added pop-ups to the program but forgot to "save" when exiting.

Thanks.

I've setup this new version so that there is a save button still, but if you try to unload the program without saving it will prompt you to save.

Or would you prefer automatic saving after every change?

I personally would prefer automatically saving after every change, but that is just one opinion.
