So here now is my personal quick fix for a similar situation. We will assume you are using Internet Explorer since that is what close to 90% of all PC users have and are familiar with. Lets also assume you have Windows XP SP 2.
With Internet Explorer open, click on Tools (top of screen) and then highlight "pop-up blocker" and then click on "pop-up blocker settings." (Or you can choose to turn off pop-up blocker). Click Add. Type in the address of the website you wish to allow pop-ups on. (For ex www.cnn.com) Click Add. Click Close. If you are configuring this blocker I recommend turning off all other blockers you may have (if you choose not to simply uninstall them). If you wish to turn off these other blockers now, do the following. Click on View (top of screen) Highlight Toolbars and then look for the name of any toolbar(s) you might have. (For Ex Yahoo! Toolbar, Google Toolbar etc.) If they have a check next to them, click on them. This menu will disappear. If there were other toolbars listed, repeat the steps above starting with "Click View." As you click on the checked toolbars, the checks will be gone next time you view that menu. If you have an antivirus program with a built in blocker, read the owners manual on how to configure or disable them.
In Conclusion
Again, there really is no need to have more than one pop-up blocker. Simply configuring one and eliminating or disabling the others should be effective enough. Everyone has their own opinions on which blockers work the best. I feel the Internet Explorer blocker works fine. As for the toolbars, the Yahoo! Toolbar has given me the least trouble out of the three I have mentioned. (Don’t confuse this with Yahoo! Companion which is a different product but still has a blocker built in.) This program seems to conflict with a lot of other programs. If you've got money to waste and dont want to send it to me, then feel free to purchase a pop-blocker. Do a search online for pop-up blockers or even check your local Best Buy, Circuit City or other similar stores.
