| Unfortunantely their is no way that I know of to download the latest Internet Explorer with the built in popup blocker. This refers to it being builtin to Service Pack 2 as we all know. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/...1/default.mspx This link works for downloading the full version of Internet Explorer but I haven't found a way for the latest IE version. http://www.compu-docs.com/ieadmininstall.htm You can download a toolbar plugin with a popup blocker builtin. The babelfish toolbar allows you to translate foreign websites and also includes a good popup blocker. http://www.altavista.com/toolbar/default I have heard the Google Toolbar which has a builtin popup blocker is good also. http://toolbar.google.com/ Good Luck. |

| Yeah, Blind_Arrow the Mozilla firefox web browser is good. http://www.mozilla.org/ I have a friend that has been using the Opera web browser for almost a year and loves it. Both of these have builtin Popup blockers, and most of the exploits are designed for Internet Explorer, not the firefox or opera web browsers. http://www.opera.com/ Good Luck. |
