Rid your system of spyware: If you get
similar pop-up windows no matter what sites you visit or even if
you're not on the Web at all, you could have spyware, adware, or
other software on your computer that's launching pop-ups. To stop
these pop-ups, you will have to identify the software, then remove
it or change its settings to stop it from launching pop-ups. To

Some windows are not blocked: Pop-up Blocker
is smart enough to not block pop-up windows that you open deliberately
by clicking a link—for example, if you were on a travel reservation
site and you clicked a link to open a pop-up window containing your
confirmation details, this pop-up window would not be blocked because
you opened it intentionally. Also, Pop-up Blocker will not block
some pop-ups with certain types of animated content or pop-ups from
Web sites that are in two Web content zones: Local intranet
or Trusted sites. To learn more about security zones, see
Working with Internet Explorer 6 Security Settings. |
