It should hopefully stop pointless pop-ups too. I have Norton Firewall 2004, and NS7 has a pop-up blocker. I recently tried to get a car insurance quote from a very large firm and clicking the next button should open a pop-up for you to put the details into, the main page changes to a thank you page. Because I could not get the pop-up to appear, all I got was the thank you page. They will be losing business to people installing Firewall 2004 and Google Toolbar. And now Yahoo too....

I wonder if it will block pop-ups generated from Geocities.
