beware popup in previous links

not sure which one, but it creates a persistant popup- close it,
and it just does a new window... had to reboot, even with spyblocker on!

I think I stopped it by going control + alt +delete and this should bring up the task manager, then I selected iexplorer.exe and then clicked the 'end process' button.

spyblocker stops cookies and files that send your details to companys, it wil not stop pop ups... that job is covered by a pop up stopper! surprisingly

You can also close popup windows by clicking "Control" and "W" as the window opens.
If the page actually loads it will pop another window so get in quick and it'll close it before it has a chance to.

is that a permanent fix to pop ups, Simon ?

[SimonS]

no....it just shuts the window as it opens.
Quite handy when you get used to it

Thanks for the tip Simon kills it 100% just like a well known brand of bleach !

Glad to be of help.......I hate popups as much as the next guy...

btw, spyblocker does stop a lot of popups, though some still slip theu, despite updaring the blacklist...
