Otherday i installed a popup blocker that provides great flexibility in terms of avoiding pop-ups. Soon after a pop-up is detected there comes another pop-up prompted and requested “should i block the pop-up”. The resulting factor is 6 clicks needed to block 3 pop-ups. Enjoy the versatile activities of pop-up blocker and may be this is called pop-up blocking Ⓜ ---

You may want to give Win XP’s SP2 a shot. The pop-up blocker for IE isn’t bad at all. ---

with SP2 you can actually turn off ALL popups! Just control + click when you want to open one…great idea…why did it take microsoft so long to figure out that people hated popups? -teet ---

> why did it take microsoft so long to figure out that people hated popups? Probably because now that IE, the browser that roughly 95% of people use, is blocking pop-ups, the pop-up marketing industry is decimated overnight. But that’s what the people want, it had to happen.
