The Proximitron

“In today's newsletter, you mentioned a popup / ad blocker called Pow.
Seems interesting, but I found an app a while back that I think is
really just the best I have ever seen. I use Windows on my desktop
machine, but in my heart I am a UNIX geek. I have been looking for
something that can do ad / popup blocking on my Windows box for a long
time, and one day I found The Proximitron. Not only is it (essentially)
free, but it can block anything & everything. AND, its entirely based
on Perl style regular expressions, so adding your own exceptionally
powerful filters can be done. I even have mine set up to block popups
that don't come from my clicking the mouse (meaning, if I didn't click
it, it doesn't popup). I think your readers might be interested. Its
available here. [Matt Cowger]
