Presentation

PopKiller is little tool allowing the eradication of two different items :

  • the popup window which pullulates on Internet.
  • the SPAM emails (identified by an expeditor, a subject, an URL or a keyword)

Its use is very simple:

  • for popup windows : as soon as you see appearing an undesirable window, it is enough for you to display the windows list and to select it. As long as popup windows killer option is active, this window will be systematically closed.
  • for emails : as soon as you receive an undesirable email, it is enough for you to select it's expeditor, it's subject, an URL on his body or just a keyword. As long as SPAM message killer option is active, all similar emails will be systematically deleted on email server.

Moreover, PopKiller include; for each item (popup & SPAM) :

  • a counter of items destroyed
  • the possibility to play a sound file (WAV) as soon as an item is destroyed
  • the possibility to define the interval between two checks

Popkiller also integrates :

  • an email notification system allowing new emails partial or full (including MIME or HTML) display. Popkiller can manage an infinite number of mailboxes compatible with POP3 protocol. It's possible to play a sound file (WAV) and/or a video file (AVI) when new emails arrived.
  • a mechanism allowing an automatic connection to Internet, either before each mailboxes checking, or in a permanent way. In this last case, it's possible to play a sound file (WAV) when the connection is restored
  • a bandwidth monitoring function in download and upload

You can also choose the language to be used (French or English)
