    This is a great Ad blocker for Firefox and Internet Explorer, it's so easy to use and has blocked every type of Ad on websites, it also fixes the websites so where the banners go don't show so the website looks totally normal.

    GREAT AD BLOCKER!!! 5/5

    It's good. I like the ad/spyware detection. Only thing is, since it doesn't work with Mozilla I can only give it 4. Instead I bought AdMuncher, which works with all browsers and is VERY effective, without being to effective (so it doesn't remove something that it shouldn't) ;)

    I ran this ad blocker, and took the popup blocking test posted by Quixley, and for me it failed 9 times out of 27 popups in the test. I use Opera, and I also use Internet Explorer. I also have Ads Gone, which I disabled during the popup testing and ran it seperately. Ads Gone only failed on 5 popups, so I DONT recommend this one as it failed a lot more than Ads Gone did.
    BTW, thanks Quixley for the popup testing page, I'm going to try a few other so called " super popup blockers" using that page.

    I rate this a 2 because of the high failure instances.

    Awesome popup-/adblocker! At http://www.kephyr.com/popupkillertest/index.html it only fails in 3 tests of 27.
    The only thing I dislike (pretty common with most popup blockers) is that it starts when Windows starts and not Internet Explorer itself.
