Hallelujah, for pop-up blockers. I have been told that a look of absolute fiendish glee "pops up" on my face, each time I hear the melodious "doink", of my pop-up blocker at work.
As always, of course, it seems like every silver lining is surrounded by a cloud. We used linked pop-up screens on all of our 12 web sites, to allow visitors to get additional, detailed information, in many areas. Pop-up blockers also block those screens, so we had to convert each to a regular htm or php page.
Actually, it didn't bother me but I did have to listen to my web master mumble in his beard for a few days :-)
Now, if there was just a way to block everything that offers me a solution for anything that I don't need or want anyway...
Have a good rest of the weekend.

I finally got WinXP working and bought Norton AV 2005.
Bad news, it now takes forever to boot and get on line since NAV2005.
Good news, it found 2 worms, and 96 other pieces of adware that the other program blockers did not. Only one it could not remove, ???
Also since installing I cannot access my email account. But the business and Wifey;s accounts work fine??? Settings look good but password is rejected.
P.S. Email is back up to where it should be so I deleted the alternate address.
