Several small software firms already sell or give away pop-up blockers, which operate on varying degrees of aggressiveness. At times, the software blocks more than ads, preventing users from seeing windows that display help information, photo enlargements or sales details.

AOL said its software allows users to see which sites have attempted to deliver pop-ups to them. If the customer wants to get pop-ups from a particular Web site, the user can add the site to a personal "allow list."

The browser will display a running total of the number of pop-ups and pop-unders blocked during each session, AOL said.

Testing, testing.... Thank you for helping us with developing a product that won't see the light of day until longhorn... did we tell you about are new and exciting ways of stopping piracy?!

#1.1 rob.derosa on 12 Mar 2003 - 10:25

Yea, WPA, but that didn't go to well did it?

#1.2 JaggedFlame on 12 Mar 2003 - 15:34

Sure it did. I don't see quite as many people complaining. In fact, I've seen almost no complaints regarding WPA.

#1.3 leebobs on 12 Mar 2003 - 20:39

I was talking about Microsoft "Palladium" guys but you are right about WPA.

#1.4 JaggedFlame on 12 Mar 2003 - 21:33

I hope you're not getting your info from that sodding FAQ, because it makes assumptions that are, quite frankly, total crap. If you read Microsoft's whitepaper, there's nothing in there about "new and exciting ways to stop piracy," and I certainly see nothing wrong with beta testing something coming out next year.

What exactly is this? Is its Microsoft's version of Internet Security (from Symantec)?

#2.1 Lowrider on 12 Mar 2003 - 10:54

Seems to be something like that...

#2.2 mAcOdIn on 12 Mar 2003 - 11:35

Probably just like it and Mcafee's security center. Symantec and Mcafee's sceurity centers are lame because they only recognize thier own software thus always saying your insecure unless your running thier whole security suite lol.

Well, if TPF is the new MS firewall, most people should be quite happy with it. I wonder who wrote the virus software...

[/neoquote] I pray not Mcafee.

#6.2 Avenger on 12 Mar 2003 - 15:50

I pray not Norton either.

The antivirus signatures are coming from Microsoft not Norton or McAfee (shiver).
