This hapened to me once. Not any more. The easy way round I find is to kill the pop-ups/unders. Get the software its genious. :)

IE 6 is so obsolete, it's frightening. Mozilla has popup protection built in.

Mozilla also comes in several variants to cater for every need: Mozilla is the original program
Netscape 7.01 is a derivative, also with popup control
Phoenix is a back-to-basics mozilla, with just the browser part.

There is a review of the new Netscape 7.01 with the popup blocker here: [news.com.com...]

Opera 7 (beta) allow you to block pop ups/unders while opening ones you select and it's fairly stable. 6 lets you block them but it's sometimes limiting when a site uses a ligit pop up.

>>it's sometimes limiting when a site uses a ligit pop up. I agree with Rockintom. I also use legit pop up for some designs (IE onClick pop up windows). I use a turnaround JS code I found here for both browsers and search engines. I use this on the link : <a href="file.htm" onClick="window.open('file.htm','','scrollbars=no,resizable=yes,menubar=no,toolbar=no');return false;" target="_blank">Link to file</a> And this on the body tag of the targeted page : onLoad=window.resizeTo(320,330) It does not do anything for menubar, toolbar and window position, but at least all visitors get something with a pop up killer or with JS disabled. I try to give a good margin to window size around elements, so visitors with pop up killers get to see it all without resizing the window.

I've had enough of these garbage windows as well. Does the available pop-up software work well? Is there a downside to this type of utility?

Mozilla's popup blocker doesn't disallow window.open() if it is a result of a user action. It only blocks popups that are not triggered by a user action, such as onload, onunload or windows opened by inline javascript in the page. A normal link that pops up a window works as expected. René.

Great for Mozilla (and Opera 7) seindal, but search engines need something to follow too.

What you refer to as a legit popup will work in Mozilla. | <a href="file.htm" onClick="window.open('file.htm','','scrollbars=no,resizable=yes,menubar=no,toolbar=no');return false;" target="_blank">Link to file</a> |
|
This will work in mozilla and give the SE some food. No problem. René.

Your system may be infected with scumware that spawns popups regardless of what site you visit. Check [lavasoftusa.com...] for Ad-Aware (free), which does a good job of identifying and removing scumware components.

But freezes A LOT while loading pages in new "tabs" (you cannot see the page you're loading nor the ones you previously loaded :()
