WinXP SP2 to integrate popup blocker plus "Window Restrictions"
Quote:
By default this feature blocks all pop-ups from any site when activated. However you can choose sites whose pop-ups you wish not to block (why on God's green earth I don't know). Adding sites is simple and does not induce brain damage. You also have the option of having a sound play when a pop-up occurs, even if you have chosen to block it.

And here's something of great interest that I'm sure many of you will be glad to hear about
: Internet Explorer Window Restrictions. Basically this blocks most websites that use code to resize your Internet Explorer window. Over the years I have found this to be a nescience.
What does Window Restrictions do?
Internet Explorer provides the capability for scripts to programmatically open additional windows of various types, and to resize and reposition existing windows. The Window Restrictions security feature, formerly called UI Spoofing Mitigation, restricts two types of script-initiated windows that have been used by malicious persons to deceive users: popup windows (which do not have components such as the address bar, title bar, status bar, and toolbars) and windows that include the title bar and status bar.
