For those wanting to be "extra careful" while continuing to use Internet Explorer, I think you can prevent this as well...
In my instance, I have the following configuration in IE: Within Internet Explorer, select "Internet Options", then select the "Privacy" tab. First, check the box "Turn on pop-up blocker" Next, click the "Advanced" button. CHECK the box reading: "Override automatic cookie handling" Below that check: "ACCEPT First-Party cookies" and "PROMPT Third-Party Cookies" I also have checked: "Always allow session cookies" These settings block a LOT of the banner pop-ups normally associated with various websites. I haven't been bitten by a bug in quite a while (pounding - not knocking - on wood!) while using these settings. This includes the dreaded "Antivirus 2009" that is becoming more prevalent lately. Of course, Malwarebytes Antimalware wil remove that one, but I've been able to avoid it altogether so far this way... YMMV. Good luck, all - and happy surfing. 73 de Mark - N9WYS -----Original Message----- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:repeater-buil...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of JG Tnx Skipp !!
