Sorry man, I'm calling BS on you. You either have a program installed that auto installs a popup blocker (System Mechanic for example), or you have almost EVERYTHING disabled in your Internet Options. Otherwise you'll get popups. It's a fact of life and PC's. You don't have to have a Popupblocker program or a toolbar running to block them. KaazaLite even had one built into it that stopped about half of the stuff I used to get.


Don't forget folks, on the main RDTIburon.com site we have a Links section and a Files section. Google Toolbar is in the Files section and has great reviews. I've had it installed for over a year now and LOVE it. ONly Toolbar for me.

Ha Ha...got a score of 35 with yahoo toolbar, but I rarely see a pop-up ad, maybe once a week at most, so if that is what a score of 35 will do, I'm all for it.

00Tibby, check what Version you have of the Google Toolbar. Also, make sure popup blocker is enabled.
