    Microsoft Pop-up AD Blocker

    For a long time my Pop-up AD Blocker in my Internet Explorer has allowed me to view another web page when I click on a link in my e-mails. Now, it blocks all the web sites. When this first happened my speakers were off and I thought I had something wrong with a link and now I hear that sound from the Pop-up AD Blocker and the block counter goes up and up every time I click on any e-mail link. I'm wondering if Microsoft blundered with a recent update for it. Does anybody know how to fix? I have to keep copying and pasting the links in my Address bar.

    Many thanks.

    Darren.

      I'm not sure how to find out. I just found out it's not Microsoft's Pop-up AD Blocker after all, it's Yahoo's. The image shows all I have in the software.



      About 30 of the blocks are e-mail links with genuine web pages such as friend's 360 Blogs. This never used to happen like this. When I first got the Yahoo Pop-up AD Blocker, it only blocked the rubbish that nobody wants. The Yahoo Help on this is as useful as a broken window. When chose to e-mail them to ask they never reply as per usual.

      Many thanks.
