Judging by her headers:

X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2670

.....I'd guess IE, which explains a lot.

No pop-ups when I looked. Not a single one. I thought some
Jell-O-Shooters popped up and into your mouth, but none of them,
either. (

Yep. Firefox, especially with the AdBlock extension, will take care o'
those nasty popups.

Out of curiosity over browsers, (not for the shooters recipe) I went to
this site and had no popups. I switched from IE to Firefox a couple of
weeks ago and am happy I did. It was a snap to download and install.
It is faster loading many sites, and the tabbed browsing works very
well. I have not downloaded the AdBlock extension as I don't see a
need yet. I did add ImageZoom and NoScript, both of which are reason
enough to switch from IE. Add me to the list of those who recommend
Firefox. -aem

Slimbrowser also eliminates popups.
From my experience, avoiding any angelfire site will eliminate half the
popups you would ever expect to encounter.

Interesting -- I was using -- just a minute -- Safari. Been so long
since I've gotten any popups that I thought I had a preference set. I
did not. I now do.

Safari and Firefox. It was Safari and I have since enabled the pop-up
blocker. I thought it had been set as a preference (wasn't paying close
attention).

Nah, I could figure it out - they've been around for a long time. I was
curious about all the How To things and wondered what was behind it.
Now I know. Useless stuff. I appreciate the kindness of your offer,
though. "-)

If you use Internet Explorer you can download Pop-upStopper from
Panicware.com. It's free and works well enough in combination with IE.

I use IE and I have popups blocked. As a matter of fact, I clicked
on the site and sure enough, pop-up block. To see this pop-up or
additional options click here...

Don't ask me how I set it, perhaps it arrived loaded that way.

Me again, when I'm on that site, under tools it has Pop-up blocker,
with options. Just FYI.

Okay, but it's there in the IE toolbar thingy.

Probably, I installed it at home relatively recently. MediaAdClick came
up with some new popups that were getting past the normal Firefox
control, so I added that.

Actually, I was teasing. I just can't picture you doing Jell-o shots.

You said if I was using google, I said what I clicked on. When I
just click on my IE icon, it's just an IE blank screen, the toolbar
is the same and it has that pop-up thing under Tools.

No google, no nothing. Just a blank Microsoft Internet Explorer
screen.

Not just p2p. As a longtime security conscious surfer, I was shocked
to be mugged by a piece of adware downloaded against all precautions
and security settings and double firewalls!! It turned my w98's file
manager (Explorer) into an toolbar equipped browser. I had to install
Search/Destroy and Ad-Aware to remove it. After being a Linux user
for so long and rarely using my win-box online, I was stunned to
learn, after a little research, just what a dismal state of affairs
now exists for Windows users on the web. Seems anyone with a business
license can wreak havoc on your computer with impunity. Thanks for
nothing, Congress!

I always say, "I came for the popup control, I stayed for the Tabbed
Browsing." Tabs are mighty nifty.

BZZZZT! Wrong answer. Windows XP SP2 comes with a pop-up blocker:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...upblocker.mspx

"When you install SP2, Pop-up Blocker is turned on in Internet Explorer and
set to the medium setting, which means it will block most automatic pop-ups."
