Great for blocking adverts, popups and annoying JScripts. Yes, it's hard to use, but there's almost nothing like it out there with this level of customisability.

Panicware's Pop-Up Stopper (usually set on agressive) is free and kills every pop up unless I hold the CTRL key down while I click the link. It's a great relief to get rid of the pop-ups.

It works well and provides total control, but you really have to spend the time to train it properly. I wouldn't recommend it to the average user.

"works great" I finally feel good about purchasing it. It's well worth the price now. And I'm very cheap...LOL. These are only a few things it can do....among being a firewall. That "Proximitron" looks like another resource hog to me ! Too much configuring and fussing around. Maybe ...I should start a "Blog" of my own this is very Liberating.....Hee Hee !
