Hi All. While playing with my new computer.. I noticed on Earthlink. there IS a pop-up blocker..It was never available before. when I had Netscape..cause I had the older version of Earthlink..Now, that I have total access.. I can eliminate pop-ups.. I just configured it.. to "only allow pop-ups from sites I chose". and right now.. I'm not chosing ANY sites..
So, hopefully, this will eliminate the pop-ups.. We'll see. I really dont want to switch browsers again. I just am getting used to..(and enjoying) the features of IE.. (being I had Netscape for all the time I was on the computer before... So, I"ve saved all your emails. and will see how this pop up blocker from Earthlink works.. If it does.. Great. if not. I'll explore more. Thanks to you all.
