Changing the Pop-Up Blocker Settings

Pennswoods.net Internet Accelerator can prevent pop-up windows and floating flash advertisements from appearing while you browse the Internet. This behavior is enabled by default, and no user-intervention is required. However, you can disable these features at any time.

A limited number of web sites require pop-ups to function correctly. Pennswoods.net Internet Accelerator allows you to specify a "White List" of sites where pop-ups will not be blocked.

You can also see a list of all pop-ups that were blocked. This information is useful if you suspect a web site is not functioning properly because pop-ups are being blocked.

  2. Select "Pop-Up Blocker...".

  3. Select the "Options" tab.

  4. To hear a beep whenever a pop-up is blocked, check "Notify blocked pop-up by PC speaker beep".

  5. To disable the blocking of floating Flash advertisements, uncheck "Block Floating Flash-Ads".
