Comcast pop ups

[Guest]

I just downloaded SP2 with the new pop up blocker. I got a window asking
whether windows should block "Comcast support"; I said no - what a sucker I
am. I allowed it because they are my provider. Now Comcast is bombarding
with pop ups & I can't block them! Comcast is not on my list of allowed
sites & I have it set on high, but I still get them! Any ideas as to how to
stop this or undo allowing them?

It sounds like the popups you are receiving from Comcast are not
normal HTML popups, but javascripts or other active content. IE's
popup blocker will not stop javascripts or other active content. To
stop that, you will have to set your Security to exclude such active
content via the "Tools/Internet Options/Security" tab

You might also look in the Windows Firewall for "Comcast support" and
disallow it. (Open the Firewall configuration dialog, click on the
"Exceptions" tab, and find "Comcast support" in the list, and uncheck
it.)
