About Pop-up Blockers

Most pop-up blockers allow you to either selectively allow pop-ups from some sites or temporarily disable their function altogether. We recommend that you temporarily disable all pop-up blocker software for MindLeaders products.

We provide instructions for the most common pop-up blockers below:  

     Google Toolbar

     Yahoo Toolbar

     Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SVP2)

     Norton Internet Security/Personal Firewall

With virtually hundreds of pop-up blockers on the market today it is impossible to provide an all-inclusive manual. For instructions on other pop-up blockers, please refer to your pop-up blocker manufacturer's manual.

Notes:

1.      In many cases there is more than one pop-up blocker installed on your computer. This being the case, you’ll need to disable all of them.

2.      Other examples of pop-up blockers may be named "Ad Blocker" or "Window Killer", etc.

3.      Sometimes a pop-up blocker may be installed even without your knowledge.
