How to Disable Norton Internet Security Pop-Up Blocking

Identify and disable Pop-up Blocking wherever found.  Remember that there are often many Pop-Up Blocking software running simultaneously.  It is also very likely that you did not knowingly install or activate them. The screenshots below can help you identify Pop-Up Blockers on your PC.

Once you have successfully identified and disabled a Pop-Up Blocker, click the RETEST button on the Pop-Up Blocker Detected Page.  If the "Welcome" screen appears, you have disabled all Pop-Up Blockers. If the "Pop-Up Blocker Detected!" page reappears, then you have more Pop-Up Blockers to identify and disable.

Bundled with many new computer software packages, Norton Internet Security's Pop-Up Blocking is now integrated into the browser and anti-virus software. Advice on disabling Popup Blocking and/or Ad Blocking is modeled below for versions  2005 and 2004.
