Pop-ups suck. There are no two ways about this. But some folks out there need more pop-up blocking control than what the typical toolbar solution is able to provide. This is where something like Pop-Up Sentry! comes into the picture. Designed to be power, yet simple to use. Definitely something I might have to look into at a future date.

Pop-Up Sentry! is an easy to use and very effective popup and advertising blocker, that is able to eliminate just about any type of advertising, including Flash, DHTML, floating ads and other techniques. We tested it at www.popuptest.com and it eliminated 100% of the simple and advanced popup ads. In addition, the program can prevent Messenger ads, Spyware ads and prevent your homepage from being changed by hi-jacker applications. You can configure Pop-Up Sentry! to block all supported ad types, or just the ones that you find most annoying. It also allows you to exclude specific sites from blocking. In addition to the ad blocking, the program also includes cookie management and cleaning as well as History cleaning of browsing and computer tracks.
