Hi,

This was posted by shoot12 - sorry, shoot, to have deleted it but there's kind of a rule about not posting email addresses publically. Shoot12 says:

"I started out running Explorer with its blocker off came in and PMed myself to no avail. I swapped browsers to Navigator with its blocker off and nothing. I am running Charter cable with Zone Alarm firewall and Mcafee antivirus. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me."

I'm sure we've worked through something like this before, but technically I'm useless...any ideas for him?

Most good virus programs have a pop-up blocker. I just checked the Mcafee website and the newer versions come with a pop-up blocker. So try the options in Mcafee.

Just looked up Zone Alarm too. It has a pop-up blocker in some of its versions. You'll have to look at the options in that too.

Dang! Double whammy!

Zone Alarm and Mcafee both have pop up blocker. The best way is to go in the pop up blocker option and add this site as safe (allowed) site.
