Why are we thinking this has anything to do with FP or the good Dr's site? I
have my popup blocker set to high as well, and I dont get any warnings when
visiting his site. Maybe it's that system messenger popup thing that
happens with XP?
| Hi Bruce,
|
| If you don't have any ActiveX Controls installed, you're probably okay,
but
| I'd run SpyBot or similar software just to make sure.
|
| I do have the current Windows popup-blocker on my computers, but if there
| was one I would have been alerted about it, in the same way that you were.
I
| do like to know about these things. So, it's as much as mystery to me as
it
| is to you as to why you were getting these.
