Netscape 7.2 and other Mozilla Gecko engine based browsers contain popup blocking functions. When popup is blocked, browsers inform you about it or show special icon in bottom left corner. By clicking on that icon you can whitelist site and popups won't be blocked. Internet Explorer can block popups if you have: a) google toolbar b) yahoo toolbar c) any popup blocking utility. It can be integrated into third party firewall or provided by other program. d) winxp sp2. If you have vanilla winxp sp1 - make sure that you have firewall enabled before you connect to network. There are 3 or more remote exploids that are used by worms and your computer will be infected within several minutes if you connect it to unsecure network. If you are not using any programs listed at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=884130 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=842242 and not afraid to break your windows xp even more - install windows xp sp2. This might not solve your problem with squirrelmail, but you will get latest fixes and updates provided by microsoft. Backup your data before you install it. Don't blame me, if your computer fails to start. If you can't download SP2 and can't use WindowsUpdate, Microsoft can send you CD with WinXP SP2 http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/sp2/cdorder/en_us/default.mspx If you want to understand what is wrong with your computer. 1. Make a list of all installed programs and understand what functions they provide. 2. Get Spybot-S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html). switch to advanced mode. check BHO, ActiveX and started programs. 3. Check started services (control panel -> administrative tools -> services). 4. Get antivirus software and check your computer. Some companies provide free online antiviruses that can check your computer. Some provide free virus checking tools. http://vil.nai.com/vil/averttools.asp#stinger http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan http://housecall.trendmicro.com -- Tomas ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
