I guess it's worth a try then? I had seen conflicting reports on the boards here tho. What security settings do I need to focus on and how?? Anne :)) |

I installed it a month or so ago, and the only problem I've had to date is that I can't download my internet banking statements as CSV files any more (they just open up in a browser window instead!). I had to reset a few security settings, etc but apart from that it was trouble-free. |

Hi Richard - yes I am on XP, but have steered clear of SP2 after all the bad reports...... |

If you're running XP then have you installed Service Pack 2? The latest version of IE which comes with that seems to block most pop-ups. |

I have suffered an onslaught of Pop Up Ads in the last week, since I upgraded to MSN Messenger 6.2 :(( I wouldn't mind by I have Ad-Ware; SpyGuard and Spyware Blaster loaded as well as McAfee - dont have any 'tool bars' - what more can I do??? |

Hi Vera I suggest you consider installing the Mozilla browser as an alternative to IE : you can download it from http://www.mozilla.org/products/mozilla1.x/ It is more up to date than IE, so works better, but it also has built-in features for blocking banner ads and pop-ups. The download is simple and user-friendly and you can use it alongside IE. When you get used to it, you can transfer your IE favorites to it as well Regards Sean |

I have had terrible problems with pop ups and after putting a message on here a few days ago was advised by Judy in the States that toolbars are often the problem. I have deleted my toolbar and hey presto no more pop ups - great. I had Yahoo Companion and the crazy thing is I only got it in the first place because it had a pop up blocker on it. So if you are having problems try taking your toolbar off it has certainly worked for me. |
