The Anti-Publicity module from the Firewall component blocks access to internet resources containing advertising information such as popup windows.
Popup windows do not usually display useful information. These windows are opened automatically when a web site is first loaded or when a hyperlink is followed. They contain advertising and other information that you did nothing to request. Anti-Publicity blocks these windows and displays a special balloon message above the application icon in the system tray. This message may be used directly to block or allow the popup.
 Anti-Publicity is compatible with the Microsoft Internet Explorer popup blocker bundled with Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2. The application installs a browser plug-in which controls the opening of popup windows in the browser directly.
There are some web sites which use popup windows for faster and more convenient access to information. If you access such sites frequently, and the information in such popup windows is critical, we recommend that you add them to the trusted site list. Popup windows at trusted sites will not be blocked.
When a popup is blocked during a Microsoft Internet Explorer session, the icon .gif) is displayed in the browser status line. A popup may be unblocked or a site added to the trusted list by clicking the icon.
