Since this has been asked twice, once offlist I'll post my

previous response.


<QUOTE>

Atguard does several things, it can be set to stop cookies, ads,

act as a firewall and prevent JavaScript popup windows.


It can be found at http://www.atguard.com


Hmmm just checked the site out, they have sold all rights to

AtGuard to Symantec and it is now bundled with Norton Internet

Security 2000.


Found at: http://www.symantec.com/sabu/nis/

Nah I only have a problem with popup windows when I don't see a need for them.


In general popup windows are used on sites to display banner ads or if

you get into one of those unseemly sites... you know which ones I mean...

that spawn new windows almost faster than you can close them to keep you

at their site.


@Guard does NOT disable new windows that are created via the Target= attribute

of a link just the JavaScript windows.


JavaScript Windows can be almost as annoying as a window that goes fullscreen

on you.
