Often when surfing web site, we get frustrated with all the small pop-up
windows and advertisements that appear on the desktop. Well I got so
frustrated with those, that I thought of writing a small application
that can automatically close such windows.
Since it is not automatically possible to know if the current window
is an advertisement or one of those nasty popups, it is necessary to
register the names of all such windows with the PopSpy tool.
If you every visit some websites frequently and know some of these
popus that keep appearing on your computer, you can register the Name
/ Title of this window with this application. As soon as a window appears
that matches with one of the registered names, the spy application will
automatically close it. The program is based on a simple windows programming
technique and I found it useful to get rid of all those small popup
windows.
I hope you may find it useful too. The PopSyp runs in the SystemTray
of your desktop so there is no additional window that appears on your
desktop.
When registering windows for autoclose , it is not necessary to enter
the complete title name of the window. With the new version you can
enter a part of the window's text. Any open windows ( IE Explorer )
currently on your desktop that contains your registered string will
be closed automatically.
Eg : Suppose you regiester the name "MEGACAMS"
in PopSpy.
If any web site opens a window that has a title called "Super
megacams .. - Microsoft Internet Explorer", it will automatically
be closed.
The windows title you can register is case-insensetive.
