Hi, a few days ago our laptop started to give us the message “you seem to have pop-up blocking software installed” which apparently hinders the machine to do what we asked it to do (e.g. file up-load to the web for which an additional window needs to be opened etc. …) …
As we’re not aware of having installed any such software recently we’re a bit stumped, being not exactly tech-geeks either we’re also clueless as to where to look for such a program. I checked in the settings, install/uninstall software section, and threw out a bunch of stuff that I didn’t remember having installed or that we don’t need anymore, but it didn’t help.
As the error-message pops up in a Java-window (the little Java logo (I think) in the left upper corner …) I also looked at the Java console or whatever that’s called, but to no avail either …
Next, I ran a virus check (AVG), but that came up empty-handed …
So now what, any tips? Plain English please, much appreciated!! Xpet.
Ah, almost forgot: I’m using Netscape browser and recently tried to uninstall the Explorer because it sometimes seems to be associated to certain programs and doesn’t seem to work properly whenever we open it, but it wouldn’t budge, just couldn’t be deleted, is that possible?? Thanks!!
