PopUp Windows

[Goldie]

How do I permanently eliminate PopUp windows when I am
surfing the Internet or Intranet? I downloaded Google
toolbar and that doesn't eliminate them.

.

If you have service pack 2 (assuming you have windows XP),
that has an in built popup blocker. download it if you
dont (the windows update site).

Else try the MSN toolbar (i find it's better than the
google one).MSN TB also has a popup blocker (use both for
best protection).

Finally, i have a popup blocker integrated into my
firewall (Norton personal firewall 2004). The free
Zonelabs firewall also has on i believe (www.zonelabs.com).

Hope that has helped

Greetings Goldie -

Disable Active Scripting; or, as an alternative, perhaps obtain a better
(read Paid For) Pop-up blocker.

Another thing Goldie; Disable Windows Messenger Service or WinPopup.
