A popup is an Ad or unsolicited information that appears on the accessed page and then in a separate popup window when you request for more information or inadvertently click on them. PopUps are exasperating and may not be relevant to your work. Besides consuming bandwidth, you waste browsing time in chasing and closing them. They offer a cheap way for companies to advertise their products.

eScan Popup Filter is a dynamic plug-in for browsers like Internet Explorer, Netscape and Opera. It blocks all PopUps automatically while offering many more features. When eScan Popup Filter is running, it tells your browser to stop all unsolicited windows from opening and does not interfere with your navigation. Since it stops the browser from downloading and showing PopUps, unlike most pop-up killers, there's no need to wait while a new window appears and disappears. It offers a screen flash free blocking of PopUps and saves your bandwidth. Popup Filter of eScan allows you to block such PopUps from being displayed on your screen.
