Darran, I hadn't heard of Ad-Shield but will add that to the list of blockers to try. Thanks for the suggestion, Caroline. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Darran Ross Sent: 29 June 2004 20:36 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Pop-up Blockers Caroline. I have found Ad-Shield to be the easiest to use and the one that requires next to no input from the user - after the initial install. You just leave it to run in the background, and it pretty much does what it says on the tin. Oh, and its free! You can get more info and download it from this site. http://www.ad-shield.com/ Regards.
