 Member Prof Gumby Posts: 488 | Do you use IE? I use it and I never get that add. I have a very high (custom) security rating and I must have stopped this function from the browser somewhere... Now when I get something in flash I only see a big black white square with a small icon at the top left corner...  ----- I am on a hot streak... Litterally. |

 Member Retired Gumby Posts: 964 | You can block popups in IE by disabling "active scripting". However, this function is not supposed to be a popup blocker, and therefore other things maybe don't work. |

 Member Dr Gumby Posts: 267 | Just in case you use XP, sp2 has finally added a popup blocker. Also the yahoo and google bar have this feature. Don't know if they will help to stop flash install requests though. ----- Lets make this a beefy place |
