life through pink colour glasses: Bachao!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bachao!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've downloaded the google bar, the msn and the yahoo bar! But those damn pop ups do not stop!!!! Everytime I settle down in my chair to read something on the net, up pops an offer for a loan, some new software or some ugly cow persuading me to marry her. I'm not a lesbian, I'm not unmarried and I'm not fucking interested so go away!!

And today when I was on my blog, trying to read the one lone comment I got (thanks V!), suddenly, the stupid pop-up blocker leapt into action and I had to press ctrl to read a comment on my own blog! Does the internet now have a sense of humour? Is it funny to see me curse out loud everytime I'm online?

Screw anti-terrorism laws, I need a really swift and really strict anti pop up law.

Anyone who lost their way on the great web highway and reached here and knows of a solution to the pop-up menace, please help me.

I'll download anything (as long as it doesn't cost me anything) and if it works you will be amply rewarded (as long as it doesn't cost me anything).

Please help.

Take you mouse pointer on it and click with your right hand's index finger(or left hand's middle finger in case u r a southpaw) on the left button of the mouse.. a Screen will come up with the title 'Toolbar Options'
Now in the 'Navigation' section the second checkbox has 'Popup Blocker' written next to it... Click on the check box ... if it is checked, click on OK button at the bottom of the page.
May the force be with you!!!

MSN does it the most. Cos its BAD. Yahoo is almost as bad. Together, they are lucifer and belezbub. Kane and abel. Lawrence and mayo. That sorta thing.

Google does not do it at all. Compeltely safe. Thats cos google is built on a foundation of solid good. I love you google.
at 8:32 am that girl in pink said...: Thanks guys! I did everything you'll and my google taskbar 'options' asked me to do. apparently the problem was also that i had some active alert thing downloaded which was secretly passing on my details to porn movie sites!! the piece of shit!

You know, i didn't know that msn and yahoo were the devil but somehow i always trusted google more than any of these!

Blogspot will be so happy to read about our devotion to google. Thanks again you'll and happy surfing!

It's been more than 8 months and not a single unwanted popup. It also has the option to allow popups for a particular site [in your case the blogger].
