IE behaving weirdly
 
If I untick Yahoo Companion PopUpCop disappears from the tool bar.If I tick it it reappears.However if I untick PopUpCop the yahoo toolbar appears and PopUpCop disappears.

Odd!Very Alice in Wonderland. :disturbd:

I want PoUpCop and I want Yahoo Messenger I just don't want the Yahoo toolbar so I tend to disable it.However when I disable it PopUpCop gets disabled instead and if I want PopUpCop I have to disable it and enable Yahoo toolbar. I then have PopUpCop but not the Yahoo toolbar.Now do you understand?

I can't see that AdAware will sort that one out at all. :)

I don't know PopUpCop, but perhaps you can use the Google toolbar instead? This blocks popups (as I presume popupcop does)

PopUpCop is a paid for application that I like very much.It doesn't nose into my affairs and I can customize it to suit myself and it is a bluddy good popup killer.I don't want a search bar on my toolbar either.

I was just wondering why this glitch has happened.I can live with it by the way. ;)

Ah, sorry. I was thrown by the fact that the yahoo toolbar claims to stop popups, so I just assumed it was bundled :dunce:

It also has one advantage that having paid for the original license I never have to pay for any future upgrades as they were part of the sign up package. ;)

Unlike ZAP or my AV which demands I pay for a new license every year.

I think the glitch must be summat to do with Yahoo.I do find them and their upgrades of Messenger a bit too intrusive.I'm sure I specifically said I didn't want the s*dding toolbar. :rolleyes:

Anyway I unistalled the toolbar,rebooted and the problem is solved.Still can't work out why it happened though. :shrug:

Firefox blocks popups and has a Google bar- as standard.
