Ease of Use:  

AdsGone Popup Killer includes an easy-to-use control panel where you can adjust the available settings for blocking popups and popunders. The program also includes tools to stop spyware and adware.

AdsGone Popup Killer needs a little improvement with its interface, however. Instead of having just a button to launch the control panel, it would be nice if you could directly access tools from your browser toolbar or with a right-click.

Feature Set:  

Even though AdsGone Popup Killer has some nice features such as spyware and adware protection and a free one-year subscription to their privacy protection software, we feel the feature set of AdsGone Popup Killer is an area where they could use some improvement.

One popular new advertising technique is Flash animation; AdsGone Popup Killer is not able to block Flash ads.

Ease of Installation:  

We experienced no difficulties installing AdsGone Popup Killer.

Help/Support:  

We were impressed with the help and documentation provided with AdsGone Popup Killer. This is one of the only popup blocker programs that we reviewed that provides some sort of tutorial.

Security:  

The security features equipped with AdsGone Popup Killer are among the best. Not only does it offer tracks erasing and privacy protection, it also allows you to protect your security settings with a password.

One of the security features we would like to see in future versions of AdsGone Popup Killer is homepage protection.

Effectiveness:  

Even though AdsGone Popup Killer performed above-average on the tests we ran it through, it failed to let some good (legitimate) popups activate. It also failed to block some JavaScript popups, on-click popups and delayed popups.

Overall, we found AdsGone Popup Killer to be a good popup blocker. It provides some of the best tools for allowing popup ads (a whitelist) and blocking (blacklisting) ads.

Where we feel AdsGone needs improvement to compete with our top-ranked popup blocker is its effectiveness and feature set. If A1 Tech can improve upon these areas, then AdsGone Popup Killer might be able to become the #1-ranked popup blocker program.
