Re: Popups

As a general point, your son may be getting pop ups as a result of running "Windows Messenger"

You can overcome this by downloading and running shootthemessenger from: »grc.com/stm/shootthemessenger.htm

Another way of stopping most pop ups is to DISABLE Java and Active Scripting in Internet Explorer. Go to Tools\Internet Options\Security and click the "Internet" icon and choose "Custom" and you can alter the settings there.

I'm sorry. I had forgotten he was using ME.
