UGN Security Forums UGN Security: UGN Archives Tech News Pop-Up Blocker to Be in Microsoft SP2

Microsoft's Service Pack 2 for XP will focus on e-mail security, memory protection, browsing security, and network protection. One default SP2 will have for Internet Explorer is a pop-up blocker.

A test version of SP 2 called Release Candidate 1 (RC1) has undergone beta-testing and will be available Friday via a technical preview program. Feedback is wanted before Microsoft rolls out a Release Candidate 2 version.

The final release of SP2 will be sometime before the middle of this year. Pop-up blocking is already on RC1 which is meant for IT professionals to test. Microsoft says that average consumers won't be asked to download this preliminary version.

man, Mozilla needs one ... [censored] and i just ordered my update disk from microshaft...

Mozilla has one.. Mozilla Firebird has one too.

You can try this
http://toolbar.google.com/

I use Norton internet security and I never see pop-ups.

I have never had any popup issues using mozilla firefox version .8, or many of the previous versions (whatever they may have been called at the time)

Also let me block/allow images and popups on a site specific basis

Google toolbar works like a charm, so does the norton, i use both and have not seen a pop up in a veryu long time.

funny how gizmo gets pop-ups on his mozilla but i get none on mine.... he he he

Might I sugest your mozilla pop-up blocker has been dissabled. Or maybe you have some ad ware running. Maybe is was dissabled by some nasty malware.
