Joann M how doe i block pop-ups? - Joann M
Best Answer: turn on your pop up blocker in IE - butchell
Wow. I hear a lot of "download blocker" responses. Don't; you already have one. If you have Win XP, and use Internet Explorer, click on Tools > Pop-up Blocker > Turn on Pop-up Blocker. In Firefox, click Tools > Options > Content Tab, and check "Block Popup Windows". McAfee and Norton IS both have pop-up blockers; you can enable them if you like, though I prefer to use the ones in my browser. If you have a toolbar, they also have blockers. Yahoo's is a shield and google's list the number blocked. Again, I prefer the ones built-in. Also, look into a hosts file. I've included a link; read up. - scottsman013
