[QUOTE="bobm, post: 1601090, member: 218935"] Some popups throw an a deliberate exception if you close them. This is an anoyance they hope will stop you from closing them. But it tells you something else, that when you allow popups you are allowing their code to run, it is code that is caged (as in java), but still not desirable. Switch on your popup blocker. I know that this will mean that some legitimate sites that you use will also be blocked, such as some java chat boxes. So you go into the popup blocker settings and allow the web sites that are legitimate. In security always think like this "Deny everything, then allow specific actions" Your security software always works in that way, you should too. [/QUOTE]
