I have just checked the relevant message in my deleted items folder, and I find that the program is "pop-up blocker", not pop-up stopper". The message did not give a site name as such. It just said "click here". I dare not click to find out what the site is, for, I am afraid, that it will download the program before I have time to stop it! If the "pop-up stopper" came from Kathy Anne's site, I am sure that it would be kasha!
