pop up blockers


Question Posted Friday February 8 2008, 10:24 pm

Ok this may be a stupid question but how do you turn off the pop up blocker? And will that cause virus things to ruin my computer? Because I want to IM and it is saying I have it blocked so how do I unblock it with it still being protected against viruses?

To add to the other answer, you can also allow pop-ups from specific sites only, so that your IM site can pop-up windows but other sites that you don't trust can't.

In Firefox: Tools > Options > click the "Exceptions" button next to "Block pop-up windows", type the URL of the IM site in the box, and click "Allow".

In Internet Explorer: Tools > Internet Options > Privacy > click the "Settings" button under "Pop-up Blocker", type the URL of the IM site in the box, and click "Add".

If you use another browser, check the help files, or let us know by adding information to your question.

Firefox: Tools >> Options >> Uncheck 'Block Popups'

Internet Explorer: Tools >> Internet Options >> Privacy >> Uncheck 'Block Popups'.

Keep your firewall on to keep viruses out.
