Blocking Pop-Up Ads

WINV-1.5.5

The Pop-up Blocker prevents most unwanted pop-up windows from appearing. When Internet Explorer blocks an ad, a new window appears with an alert message in the Information Bar at the top. Blocked items are replaced in the window with a red “x”. The Information Bar in Internet Explorer lets you temporarily or permanently open pop-ups, change Pop-up Blocker settings, and get Information Bar help. With the Pop-up Blocker Settings dialog box, you can allow or disallow pop-ups from specific sites, play a sound or show the Information Bar when a pop-up is blocked, and set a filter level to block pop-ups.
