Popup

[Guest]

I'm using XP SP2...I'm using the popup blocker, set on high.
Still, I get a popup (media.fastclick.net).
I use Spyware Doctor, Spybot, Ad-Aware, CCleaner, SpywareBlaster and McAfee.
Any idea how I can get this popup blocked?

TIA...Dan

Dan,

I suggest to do this:

- Configure IE7 to prevent third-party pop-ups from appearing:
[*] Open IE7.
[*] Go to Tools > Internet Options. It will open the Internet Options
dialog box.
[*] Click on the Privacy tab.
[*] Click on Advanced. It will open the Advanced Privacy Settings
dialog box.
[*] Put a check beside Override automatic cookie handling.
[*] Under First-party cookies, put a dot beside Accept.
[*] Under Third-party cookies, put a dot beside Block.
[*] Put a check beside Always allow session cookies.
[*] Click OK to save setting and close the dialog boxes.

Hi Dan,

You may want to consider using a special HOSTS file, written by MVP Mike
Burgess. I've been using it for several years, and have had no problems. For
details, see here:

If you choose to use it, pay special attention to the Editors note regarding
HOSTS files in excess of 135 kB.

Dan, I neglected to mention that *media.fastclick.net* is one of the sites
that are blocked!
