I just installed Panic ware POP up stopper. I hate it becaus eit messes with my surfing habits. It want let me open two Windows at the same time becaus eitn sees it as a pop up. Anyway to trick it?
Yes, you can right click on the icon of Popup Stopper and uncheck where it says "block pop up windows." You will be able to do as you please then...BUT...you will also be bombarded with pop ups. Just remember to check it again after you are done doing whatever... --Viv :)

If you have the HOSTS file (from Spybot)installed in the Windows folder you will be pop-up free. Spybot is also free - HURRAH!
