I think that would be Firefox or Mozilla.

Some try the Google toolbar, but with all the unpatched exploits we find at http://www.safecenter.net/UMBRELLAWEBV4/ie_unpatched/ it's clear that Microsoft is dragging their feet on this issue. IE 6 has been out for years now.

OK,
How do you turn on the Pop Blocker in IE 6 as it's not blocking any pop up's ?

Thanks,

Ms service pack 2 includes a popup blocker for IE. I'm using it and it seems to work great so get sp2 asap and your problems will be solved.

Hi, I have been trying out "Stopzilla" on a trial basis and it seems to work really good. I will buy it.

Good Luck,
Patricia
