Just open the back door , it will save you money buying a new window !

mozilla pop up blocker is on the top of your browser in ... Tools-Options-Content..check block pop up windows, but mozilla seems to be mashed up with pop-up's these days.

cheers Mancie, its all already on according to that, still getting popups though

My pop up issue is under control at the moment, but it is a problem sometimes. Depends on what page I am browsing it the time though.

did you click on the exceptions button next to the "block popup windows" tick box and remove any exceptions that might be listed?

I use Vista with Mcafee never seen a pop up since I got this lap top 3 years ago

Neil there's nothing listed in the exceptions

Are you getting pop ups that open in a new window or are the the ones that appear over the page you are reading and you have to close them to carry on reading the page?

the popups are a whole new page and the page always says 'loading error' and comes up about 7/8 times one after the other, say i open accyweb, my accyweb page comes up then all these other pages come up, i've recently put AVG on, could that be anything to do with it?

I think you have something sinister at work on your PC.
