Title: Pop Unders
Post by: willythecat on June 22, 2009, 04:43:25 PM

Whether it be in IE8 or Firefox, on some ocassions, when a page is closed there have been two to three other pages behind this. Pop up blocker is enabled on both browsers, so apart from closing these other pages, it's just annoying.
Is there a way to stop this?
thanks

Thank you Fed, sorry l didn't get back to you sooner.
Ran all of those ok. Was doing a bit of googling (which l suppose l should have done in the first place), and as l know the pop-under www addresses, have now added these to the hosts file.
Thanks again for your help, and l'll see how it goes from now on.
Regards

I'm happy to see you're OK Willy the hosts file is a powerful tool, I use it too.
