Good question! I don't know. I looked in my W2K Task Manager under both apps and processes, to find out what's going on, but I can't tell. Task Manager is showing that it's running inside Explorer, and only when it blocks a popup. If it isn't blocking something, it disappears from the running apps list. PopupPopper is nothing but a DLL file, so...

If you are asking if it slows the machine down, the answer is no. One of the popup killers I tried on my friend's machine was UNBELIEVABLY SLOW. I mean, I would click on a link, go get a cup of coffee, come back and the page still wasn't loaded - and I'm NOT exaggerating.

EDIT: Here's the POS I was talking about. #1 worst I've tried:
