22062 2001-10-20 09:05:00 While using the Internet annoying windows appear usually covering what you are working on. They will disappear when click on close but reappear in a different form moments later. They are always have Microsoft IE at top and sometimescover Start tool bar and sometimes over ride auto disconnect.Help! Guest (0)
22063 2001-10-20 09:31:00 ...welcome to the world of pop-over advertising.

Here's a handy tip to disable that annoyance on-the-fly:

In Internet Explorer, run your mouse pointer down to an empty area on the right hand side of your task bar (adjacent to the clock) and hold it steady.

Double left-click on this area and your 'Internet Security Properties' Box will open.

Using your mouse, move the slider up to 'High' then click Apply/Okay.

No more annoying pop-ups (!)

Remember to move the slider back to 'Medium' for more practical functionality when visiting sites on the Web.

Cheers !!!

Sometimes this happens when you go to particular site.
The only way to stop it is not to go to site like that <eg.mp3 sites> or download a program that automatically stops advertisments etc.
