Turning Off Pop-ups in Windows

• 1). Open your Internet browser to any page. For the sake of this example, Internet Explorer is used. The first pop-up blocker to turn off would be the one in Windows.
  
  
• 2). Left click on "Tools" above your Explorer toolbar.
  
  
• 3). Scroll down and click on "Pop-up blocker," then click on "Turn off pop-up blocker."
  
  
• 4). Follow Steps 1 and 2, and if you wish to select specific sites to continue to allow pop-ups, instead of clicking on "Turn off pop-up blocker," click on "Pop-up blocker settings." (You can choose to allow pop-ups only on specific sites, which will leave the ones that annoy you disabled).

Turning Off Pop-ups in Toolbars

• 1). Disable the pop-up blocker in your toolbar. Even though you may have your pop-ups turned off in Windows, if you have a toolbar installed on your computer it can still block pop-ups. The most frequently installed toolbars are the Yahoo toolbar and Google toolbar.
