IE Blocks Wanted Popups

[Guest]

Using Win XP Pro SP2 with latest IE patches. IE blocks popups even when it
is turned off. Specifically, popups in secure sites, such as my bank. I
have added the sites that I want to allow popups on, but no luck. Is there a
way to totally disable the popup blocker in IE? I also have the Google
toolbar installed, but its popup blocker is also turned off.

 

[PA Bear]

Have a Norton or McAfee application installed, too?

Are you getting the yellow Info Bar?

I do have Norton NAV and Utilities 2000 installed. I am not getting the
yellow info bar. I don't know if this information is of any use, but I have
Mozilla Firefox also installed, and it works properly with wanted / unwanted
popups.

(Is NAV 2000 even supported in WinXP SP2?)

See if disabling NAV's Script Blocking makes any difference:

Sorry, I have NAV 2005 installed, in addition to the older Utilities.
Disabling NAV's script blocking helped. I can now get the popups on my
bank's site. The only other site that is bothering me is Reliant Energy's
site. When I click on "view your bill", it invokes a JS that flashes a
window and then dies. For the amount of time that I can see the popup, it
says "Loading Statement", but it does not appear to be a PDF file, as was
resolved on the bank's site. Since my sast post, I have set "low" security
in the MSIE Tools / Internet Options / Security settings. I have also
uninstalled the Google toolbar. Those two things did not appear to help.
Thanks for your help. I am making progress.

If you're fully up-to-date at Windows Update, you have MS05-037 installed
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS05-037.mspx). This
update sets a "kill bit" for the JView Profiler (Javaprxy.dll) COM object.
Though highly doubthul, it may be that "view your bill" at Reliant Energy
relies on Javaprxy.dll and until they correct it, you may not be able to,
er..., view your bill.

Otherwise, the fact that you didn't first fully uninstall NAV 2000 before
installing NAV 2005 (despite what Symantec says) may be the root of your
ongoing problem.

To correct it:

1. Uninstall NAV 2005 via Add/Remove Programs and reboot.

2. If NAV 2000 persists in Add/Remove Programs, uninstall it and reboot.

3. Run Symantec's Rnav2003 removal utility and reboot:
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nav.nsf/docid/2001092114452606

[Optional: 4. Download/run CrapCleaner v1.21.130: http://www.ccleaner.com/]

5. Reinstall NAV 2005.

As you will be running without anti-virus protection, do as much of the
above as possible while physically disconnected from the internet.

IMHO: I wouldn't allow a Symantec product in my house, let alone install it
on one of my systems.

 

[Guest]

I did all that you advised, in the sequence advised, with no luck. After I
uninstalled NAV (after step 3 and before step 4), I also uninstalled and
reinstalled IE (courtesy of a tweak from Kelly's Korner). Still no dice on
the Reliant site. The Toshiba Satelite Pro 6100 that I am having the problem
with was purchased in 2003. It originally came with a demo version of McAfee
AV, which I became annoyed with, and removed/replaced with the demo version
of NAV 2003 that came on the Toshiba release CD's. I have upgraded from that
version of NAV each year to the current version. Likewise with the other
PC's on my home network, going back for many years. The Toshiba is the only
one that I am having this problem with. I don't like Symantec either, but
IMHO, I have trusted Peter Norton's software and books since the dawn of the
PC. I think I still have his hard bound books on the PC/XT and assembly
language programming for the PC. I am a 35 year IT professional, so I "grew
up" with Norton and have my own prejudices as well, but I tend to agree with
your view on Symantec. Let me know if you can think of anything else, short
of reinstalling XP. I appreciate all of your help!

reinstalled IE (courtesy of a tweak from Kelly's Korner).

Using the "IsInstalled" Registry edit/REG file? With SP2 already installed,
you could've simply uninstalled and then reinstalled SP2 to reinstall IE.
See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=318378.

Do you see this behavior at any site other than Reliant Energy's "View your
bill" page? Does the behavior persist if you access the Reliant Energy page
using another machine that's also running WinXP SP2? Given that it might
just be a temporary problem on the Reliant Energy page, is being able to
view the page on this machine important enough that you'd consider
reinstalling Windows?

While I have seen where previously installed versions of NAV have indeed
caused such a problem, let's put the Norton and Script Blocking matter
aside: Does the problem persist on the Satellite if you uninstall SP2 via
Add/Remove Programs?

Commentary:

From posts I've seen here and elsewhere, Toshiba Satellite's have proven to
be the most problematic of all machines after installing SP2. YMMV.

While I don't have anywhere near the years of experience you do, I am quite
familiar with Peter Norton's work. I and most of my peers of any age are of
the opinion that Symantec's recent (Home and Small Office) versions of
Norton products (NAV 2000 etc. and up) bear very little resemblence to those
Peter turned out when it comes to reliability, memory use, uninstalling
cleanly and upgrading successfuly from earlier versions. Do you think
Peter's applications would require tools like Rnav2003.exe, SymNRT.exe
(http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039)
or RnisUPG.exe

I should have mentioned that I still had the same issue with NAV totally
uninstalled, and having applied Rnav2003 and having run CrapCleaner. I
misspoke about the sequence of events: I reinstalled IE between steps 4 and
5. This problem did occur on a few other web sites, but I only remember it
happening on the secure sites that I visit. I will be a little more specific
if we pursue this any further. The problem started when I put on SP2. You
are correct about the Satelite Pro being very finicky about SP2, as I had
several issues after putting it on. Most notably the firewall would not
allow me to access my work's Avaya VPN, which I (and Avaya and these forums)
was only able to resolve by totally disabling the firewall at the registry
level. I think I may just chalk this one up to Toshiba. It is not worth
reinstalling Windows, or even SP2 over. I'll just use FireFox when I visit
those problem websites. Once again, thanks for all of your help.

Commentary:

BTW, I hope I didn't come across as the old man scolding the young
whipper-snapper regarding Symantec. You know a lot more than I do these days
about this stuff. I haven't been under the hood since DOS 6.1. ;-)
