If you give the site permission I do not think Trend Micro or anything else can
stop this. Nor, do I want ANY program stopping me from being ABLE to download
and ALLOW pop ups or anything else if I WANT them! That is called censorship!
I know you said that Trend Micro WARNS you, it does not prevent you from doing
it and that is NOT censorship! It is good advice! Some folks ignore the
warnings unfortunately.
I HATE that these dang terms of use (TOU) on websites, the things you have to
agree to in order to get something (especially when you PAY for it) bury the
info that you will be infested with them forever. (Until you find out what is
wrong and then block them.)
I get a notice from windows/Norton on sites that want to pop something else and
ask if I want to do it. The MOST I will do, IF I am curious AND it is a site I
go to regularly, like my bank or something is to allow it temporarily. I NEVER
give permission to allow a site to download anything unless I ordered it and I
have read the TOU. But, no one is impervious to unscrupulous webmasters who
get happy making you miserable!
I also pay attention to the trusted sites and other warnings!
I think Mom taught us to "THINK BEFORE WE SPEAK!"
Today Mom's need to also teach us to "THINK BEFORE WE PUSH!"
(those buttons on the keyboard!)

ML,
Apparently when I hit a site like that, my Trend Micro
immediately pops up and tells me it is a dangerous site. I
close out immediately and never have the stuff you've had happen
to you. Norton never did that nor McAfee so I am a die hard
Trend Micro fan.
It's worth the money to have my computer with spam filtered in
my email and no downloads of crap. I would not like to spend
the time you did to put my computer back to pristine condition.

I found out what it was...a download from a site I went to. I
didn't read the info to begin with--when you use the site you give
permission of all kinds of stuff to be downloaded.. Websearcjh and toolbars.
I got
rid of it with various scans..I HATE that kind of site. I won't use it
again. SPT!.
