It seems like there are a few pop-up windows that have been slipping by the blocker built into Safari lately, and this was one of them. It's always amusing when they try and make the pop-up look like an official Windows warning window or something, when you're using a mac. | |

Join Date: Jul 2002 Location: Upstate, SC Posts: 1,699 | There was an article on slashdot.org about that the other day. Seems pop-up spammers have figured out how to bypass pop-up blocking in several browsers including Safari on the Mac. Look at the second post down titled (The Return Of The Pop-Up Ad) http://slashdot.org/index.pl?issue=20050220
Thankfully the pop-up blocking in Norton Internet Security seems to be holding as I am still pop-up free | |
