Tired of popups hijacking your browsing?

Key features
Stops popups before they reach you
PopupAgent uses intelligent popup blocking to kill ad popups so they don't waste your browsing time.
Blocks ad images and saves bandwidth
It blocks common ad images so banners are never downloaded. That saves bandwidth and surfing time, and the vendor says it speeds up browsing.
Black list and white list control
You decide which sites are allowed or disallowed with the black list and white list utilities.
Cookie management and tracks clearing
PopupAgent prevents unwanted cookies and includes a built-in cookie manager plus Internet tracks clearing. It also offers website filtering.
Messenger Service and media player ad blocking
It blocks Messenger Service popups and stops Media Player ads, so it covers more than browser windows.
Who it's for
PopupAgent suits you if you want one small tool that handles popups, ad banners and cookies together, and you like deciding site by site what gets through.
