I have been using POW (freeware) available at
http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network.htm
to prevent most of the pupup dropdown add in the browser. It a learning thing that you have to teach so
your going to get every New add at least once. BUT, it doesn't cause a problem in PMMAIL PRO on Win
2K

Does anyone here have any ideas? I can't see anywhere in the PMMail setup screens to accomodate this
sort of arrangement. PMMail runs fine if I quit the Ad blocker app.
