Popup Slapdown Popup windows are those advertising windows that appear when you visit some web sites--trying to sell you credit cards, little cameras, movie and TV previews, and more. Popup Slapdown is a popup window blocker for Internet Explorer that keeps all those ad windows from appearing. It works simply (and even invisibly) in your web browser. When a popup window is detected and blocked, a sound will be played, and the main Internet Explorer window will be flashed. (You can change how those work if you don't want it to flash, etc.)

Web Bug Swatter Web Bugs are little tiny images websites include in their pages. They load a picture from another website, which allows the other website to set a cookie on your computer. Usually these pictures are tiny; either invisible or as big as the period at the end of this sentence. So you don't see them. They are most commonly used to track you as you visit a website or for other advertising reasons. Desktop Armor's Bug Swatter can automatically remove these Web Bugs from webpages as you surf the Internet.
