  Revenge of the pop-ups
Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Robert Stein

It's been barely two months since Microsoft made a pop-up blocker available for its Internet Explorer browser--but Web advertisers have already found a way to slip their loathed marketing pitches past it. Service Pack 2 (SP2), Microsoft's security update to Windows and Internet Explorer, recently armed 40 million people with tools to automatically suppress advertising windows that spring up, over or behind requested Web pages. Couple that with the millions who have downloaded free pop-up-blocking toolbars from Google, Yahoo, MSN and others, and nearly half the Web audience in the United States has voted against pop-up ads, according to several estimates from ad-serving companies.

As someone mentioned here all you have to do is set the built in pop up stopper in SP2 to High and I've yet to see anything get by it - if you want to receive the pop up just hold the CTRL key down as you click the link and you will recieve the pop up when needed.

I also use the Google toobar with my SP2 for the use of the Search but also have it's pop up blocker active and if what IE doesn't block Google then does - so since having the combination of both of these items and just using the CTRL key when needed - I've yet to see a single pop up PERIOD.

Most of Activenwin's pop-ups are being blocked.

#5 WRONG!

I was happy when I installed the Google toolbar months ago because I got no more popup when I came here. Since a few weeks it seems AW found a way to bypass this because now I still get some and this piss me off.

They know it sucks and they announce news about that but they keep using popups.

#7 true, advertisers fault probably.

"With IE on XP SP2 change the pop up blocker setting to "High" and you don't get the Drudge ones. "

So the other settings are pretty much useless then eh?

I've got no popups on this site or drudge using XP SP2 default settings (medium) for popups.

It's NOT ActiveWin.com - Trust me, we'd lose them if we could. In the new site redesign, we will use 250 x 300's, which will help us cut back on pops.

What a lot of you guys don't realize is that the advertisements that show up on ActiveWin are likely controlled not be their servers, but by one or more advertising providers that they use.

For this reason, ActiveWin may sign up for banner ads only, but recieve ads in any format the advertising provider chooses.

This is simply the way advertising providers conduct business. Complain to them, not ActiveWin.

BTW, I rarely get ads while using Firefox... although I have seen a couple get through, but not on ActiveWin.

#18 - Yeah, the NYTimes has been pretty bad lately... pushing all that fake evidence about WMDs to support a war in Iraq.

#19 - I get my fake news from Sinclair Broadcasting... mostly UPN and Fox affiliates. They are the only ones with the bravery and courage to run pro-Bush propaganda unadulterated by the Truth!
