STOP POPUP WINDOWS IN INTERNET EXPLORER
Something called "Active Scripting" is at work here. You can disable it by
following these steps: On the menu line of Internet Explorer, click Tools, Internet
Options, Security tab, Custom Level button. Scroll down to the Scripting section, and
click the radio button (the round bulls eye type buttons are called radio buttons) labeled
"Disable". This disables Active Scripting, and the popup craziness won't happen
to you. If you need to, you can always enable Active Scripting, or select the option to
"Prompt". If you select that, you'll see a question asking your permission to
open additional windows when sneaky web sites try to fiddle with your browser.
