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.

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

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