Pop-up blocker

Guest

How do I get my pop up blocker back? I have formatted my hard drive and
loaded my windows XP, but obviously I have an important update missing, as I
no longer have the pop up blocker that came along with a previous update.
Please advise how I can get this back.

Many thanks

Well, I installed the SP2....and what has happened...I have such a slow
computer. I have disabled the fire wall, to no avail...I eventually tried to
uninstall the SP2 installation...and it won't let me.....I have now gone
backwards...I could have rather done with pop-up windows than a slow
computer. Just to open the control panel, after clicking on control panel,
takes 5 seconds...which is ridiculous....

Any suggestions on how to UNINSTALL the mess now??

Thanks
