Is there a popup blocker?

Hi,

I have a question concerning popups: I need to desactivate a popup blocker; does avast 4.6 home edition have one? I already did everything with the Internet Explorer, still there are popups blocked. I need a popup window at a site I need for university.

Hope someone can help me, thanks,

Christina

No, avast doesn’t block pop-ups.

What did you do in IE to allow them?

Yes, I did, but it doesn’t work :frowning:

I did deactivate the popup blocker, and followed the steps the website I need did advise.

What can I further do?

Use Maxthon browser for instance (www.maxthon.com) :wink:

Thank you, I’ll try :slight_smile:

Firefox also has pop-up blocking capabilities, it is also more secure than IE and less prone to adware and spyware.

Avant browser also has pop-up blocking, but like Maxthon, it uses the IE browser core.

Please read what MrsParis is asking for…

She wants to DEACTIVATE a pop up blocking situation.

MrsParis,
Are you using a firewall? If your FW is blocking the domain from which the popup originates, it will not show. You can enter the domain name in the Trusted Sites in Internet Explorer which will fix this if it is the cause.

What OS are you using? If you have SP2, then you will need to adjust the settings in the Security Console. What version of IE? If the problem persists, this info may help me figure out what is going on.

Thanks
