SMASHER, by PopUpStop.Com, is a nifty tool for dealing with some of the "junk" that you encounter on the Internet. We encounter some similar things, like ads, on television, radio, and billboards, but some things are unique to the Internet. Things like cookies, pop-up ads, and lots more. You can configure the program to deal with all these things the way you want it to, and that's a great feature all by itself. This is one powerful piece of software because it does so much. For example, it can stop what are known as "in-browser" Java ads, pop-up ads, animated ads, and even the ever popular 'pop-under' ads. Those are the ones you generally find when you close your browser. Always fun to have to clear away ads for Web cams and other junk when you're done surfing. Not if you're using this baby because they won't be there!

SMASHER offers a feature for dealing with the infamous "cookies" that I think is really great. The program gives you a variety of options for handling cookies. The program will actually remove 'cookies' while you're surfing, so you leave a site and the cookies that site dropped are gone. Then you have some cool options that consist of "Freeze", "Stealth", and "Smart Allow" mode. "Freeze" stops a site from adding more cookies to your computer. "Stealth" is cool because it only lets cookies be active when you're on the site that dropped it. And "Smart Allow" is there to help you keep 'cookies' that you really want. This feature will automatically kick in on sites where you enter a username and password. Very slick. And if all this weren't enough, SMASHER can also remove all of the traces you leave behind when you surf. For example, it can wipe out the URLs you type, your Internet cache, and more. It even has a plug-in that gives parents control so that offensive material can't be reached. Excellen t!!

SMASHER, by PopUpStop.Com, is a powerful program that will make your Internet experience a lot more fun. It's highly configurable, so you can have it work exactly the way you want it to. It stops pop-up ads, pop-under ads, Java in-browser ads, and more. It gives you total control over the infamous "cookies" so you can allow the ones you want while also removing or inhibiting others. It'll clear your cache, stop questionable Web sites from being reached, and can even put password protection on Explorer. I've looked at a number of programs for taking care of these issues and this is one of the best I've seen. Give it a try, I recommend it!
