Pop-Up Blockers

Pop-ups are small windows that open automatically on your screen. Most often, they display advertising, which can be from legitimate businesses, but also might be scams or dangerous software. It is recommend that you turn on a pop-up blocker when you surf the Web, and turn it off only for those rare cases where you need to interact with a pop-up on a site to complete a task.

Pop-up blockers can interfere with the performance of Banner. Make sure that you do not have pop-ups with Internet Explorer’s built-in utility, or with any third-party software. Pop-up windows must be allowed for this site; the Pop-up Blocker can be told to remember these sites so pop-up windows are allowed to launch. This information is stored on your computer in what's known as a "whitelist" (as opposed to a "blacklist"). The Pop-up Blocker uses the whitelist to turn itself off when you visit sites whose pop-ups you would like to see. Add the Banner site to the list of exceptions for suppressed pop-ups.

Most modern browsers come with pop-up blocking tools. Internet Explorer 7 includes a pop-up blocker.
