SmoothSurfin' is a simple but powerful, no-nonsense pop-up protection utility that is guaranteed to provide virtually annoyance-free web browsing for Internet Explorer users at all times while it is "on duty", effectively terminating most unwanted pop-up browser windows as soon as they attempt to open.
Kills unwanted pop-ups immediately and automatically.
Runs quietly in your System Tray using very little resources.
Quickly and easily toggle "Pop-ups Disabled/Enabled" status by one of several convenient shortcuts.
Holding down user-defined hotkey temporarily disables protection for those times you wish to allow links to open in new windows.
Optionally plays wav sound when pop-up is closed and/or "Pop-ups Enabled" status changes.
Works with Internet Explorer.
Integrates with Internet Explorer's toolbar and context menu.
Includes "smart" technology to thwart sneaky pop-ups that try to fool pop-up stopping software.
Optionally kills annoying "Web Page Dialogs".
No need for lengthy, confusing configuration. Goes to work immediately upon installation.
Logs urls of pages in closed pop-ups.
Allows you to define "whitelists" of specific urls and complete domains from which to allow pop-ups.
Low registration price.
Free trial available.

Ability to kill "Web Page Dialogs".
Now logs all urls from terminated pop-ups.
Added "Whitelists" to exclude certain URLs and complete domains from pop-up protection.
