I downloaded the Panicware ?Pop-Up Stopper? a couple of weeks ago after reading an overwhelmingly positive Dooyoo review, but I soon realised that in many cases it could be more annoying than helpful. This review is not meant as a criticism of the recent review that informed me of this software, in fact that was an excellent review that I nominated for a crown, but it?s not for me. FREE DOWNLOAD The pop-up stopper does what it promises, for the most part, and it is a free download from panicware.com. This immediately stops me from having any major ... Read the complete review

Being the 10th person to review this software, there's probably not a lot else I can say, although I'll do it in my own little way anyway. As a heavy user of the internet, pop-ups are a real burden. I'm aware we could ditch Internet Explorer and use something pop-up-less, but let's face it, that'll cause it's own set of problems, and chose not to go down that route. So a pop-up stopper was required! Being one who very rarely pays for software, particularly utilities, I was immediately drawn to the fact the Pop Up Stopper was free. Well I really can't see why I should pay ... Read the complete review

A couple of months back, I was becoming utterly frustrated with those annoying little advertising popup windows that appear whist surfing the internet. I am sure that many members here on dooyoo will have suffered these same frustrations because at the time, the main culprit was this site. In my experience, for every opinion I read or rated and each time I checked the comments on my own reviews, the popup window advertising “freeserve” would appear. Also many of you who write over at ciao will no doubt have the same problems because these popup windows are consistent over there. I had heard of many variants of popup stopper programs that were ... Read the complete review

Most people have come to appreciate that in order for the internet to carry on thriving there needs to be some means by which site owners get paid for their time and dedication spent in bringing these sites to us. Affiliate schemes, banner advertising etc. are amongst those revenue generating schemes, which most of us can deal with because they aren't too intrusive upon our own browsing experience, but pop-up ads are a different thing entirely for many. Having another window, often a full screen one these days, sometimes with sound and video playback (grrr!) opening up unrequested is not only annoying, but also slows up your browsing experience as well as, it has to ...

~ ~ When I conducted a search of the dooyoo and Ciao Categories to discover whether or not this utility was listed at the two sites, I was amazed to find that are only three opinions about it in total. I say I was amazed, as one of the biggest gripes from members in the time I have been a member both here at dooyoo and over at Ciao has been about those bloody annoying little ‘pop up’ windows that make their mostly unwelcome appearance on the site from time to time. ~ ~ Now I fully realise that one of the main sources of income for dooyoo comes from the amount of advertising that they have about the site, and even more specifically from the ...
