mpk.exe

mpk.exe

The process file mpk.exe is the MyPopupKiller utility that displays all the list of opened windows on your web browser and closes unwanted popup and advertising windows. The program can automatically hide the internal ads of Kazaa Media Desktop, Download Accelerator (DAP), and Opera browser.

The process can operate in three (3) modes namely manual, automatic and aggressive mode.
In the manual mode, the program displays the list of opened windows, and allows you to easily select and close the unwanted popup windows. The popup and ad windows are automatically selected, so you can close all of them in a press of a button.

In the automatic mode, the program closes popup and advertising windows automatically. Closing is done in accordance to what you select in the configuration screen. The popups can be temporarily enabled by holding the Alt (the default), Ctrl, or Shift key. In this mode the program automatically closes all new browser windows. In this mode, the new browser windows cannot open, unless you hold the Alt key.

The process has 2 methods to recognize unwanted ads windows:

It can distinguish between normal windows and popup windows. Most popup windows contain advertising or other unwanted content. However, if the user chooses to automatically close all popup windows, some "good" popup windows may also be closed. In such case, you can hold the Alt key in order to temporarily enable the popups. You can also avoid closing good popups by adding them to the “Allowed Windows" list. You can add a window by its Web address, or by the window title.

It can recognize an advertising window if its title or Web address is found in the banned windows list. If you get an advertising window that MyPopupKiller doesn't recognize, you can add it to the ban list, and avoid that ad in the future.

The process supports the following Web browsers:
Internet Explorer: version 5.x and 6.x
Netscape: version 6.x and 7.x.
Mozilla
MSN Explorer (version 7.x)
Opera (partly supported): version 7.x (although it not really needed because Opera browser has build-in support against popups)

The installation of this process file requires Windows operating system: Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
