    Testing pop up stoppers / killers

    Does anyone know of any pages that have tests for pop up stoppers/killers?

    I know I could always do a general surf, to try to find pop ups but was looking for a single web site which would have all the different types of popups/unders/behinds etc so I could evaluate the several popup killers I have downloaded.

    There is no such thing as overkill. 'Open fire' and 'is it dead?' are the only sane options when threatened.

    Thanks guys ,

    Am evaluating Popup stopper companion at the moment , wanted to test it before parting with any money .

    Seems to be quite useful, and I like the integration of its toolbar with IE .

    Pop-Up Stopper passed both sites listed in the test sites that were suggested here....wouldn't be without it....works great for me...in fact liked it so much I bought the PRO version....don't need the Ctrl. key in that one....works all by itself....

    re pop-up stopper:
    I use it often, but am aware that it does use up it's fair share of resources and some...
    I do not run it on startup and only turn it on when I get the first pop-up when surfing...
    works great this way for me...
    just food for thought
