Don't be passive about pesky pop-up windows. Here's a tool that kills them on the spot.

What happened to the good old days of surfing the Web? It used to be, you clicked on a page, and you got what you were looking for. But today, everyone is out to make a buck, so now when you click a link, you're in danger of unleashing a relentless attack of pop-up windows.

"Click here to EARN CASH FAST!"

Your days of manually closing a wave of endless pop-up windows is over. PopUp Killer (PUK), developed by xFX JumpStart, solves all your pesky pop-up problems.

PUK automatically closes any rogue windows that pop up. It sits in your system tray, quietly watching and waiting for...

"Great DEALS on performance enhancing drugs!"

The engine offers two ways to detect pop-ups. Either use PUK's automatic smart detection to automatically kill the pop ups, or create your own list of sites to kill. You can also upload your personal collections to a public database, and download other users' lists.

XFX JumpStart monitors the online database and updates it to skip all pop ups that are actually sites.

You can also download explosions and other sounds that make the pop-up killing more fun.

We use very few add-on programs when we surf, but this is a must.
