Hey all,  
I have a bit of a dilemma on my hands…  
I downloaded an anti - birus program as I had the E-Klez?? virus.  
IT’S A HELL OF A KILLER, but it’s gone now so don’t worry.  
The problem is I think it has disabled my pop-ups so when I was doing Kirupa’s tut on a centered pop-up window, nothing would happen.  
Is there a way that I can re-enable pop-ups, as it is also causing me problems creating javaScript pop-ups with Dreamweaver, I can still create them, but there is obviously no way to test them…  
How can I sort this out.?

Thanks, but they were already enabled, the wierd thing is that I still get those stupid MSN Messenger pop-up ads, but testing pop-ups for myself don’t work???  
Thanks anyway
