26 Getting started Turn off the advertising filters Turn off the advertising filters Ad Blocking can block several kinds of ads that appear on Web sites while you are browsing the Internet. Turn off Ad Blocking See "Does Ad Blocking block all advertising on the current page?" on page 32. Ad Blocking compares the addresses of ads that are being downloaded by your browser with its own list of ads to block. If it finds a match, it removes the ad so that it does not appear in your browser, leaving the rest of the Web page intact. To turn off Ad Blocking 1 In the main window, double-click Ad Blocking. 2 In the Ad Blocking window, uncheck Turn on Ad Blocking. 3 Click OK. Turn off Pop-up Window Blocking See "Will Pop-up Window Blocking block all pop-ups or only pop-up ads?" on page 32. Pop-up and pop-under ads are secondary windows that Web sites open when you visit or leave the sites. Pop-ups appear on top of the current window, while pop-unders appear behind the current window. When Pop-up Window Blocking is enabled, Ad Blocking automatically blocks the programming code Web sites use to open secondary windows without your knowledge. Sites that open secondary windows when you click a link or perform other actions are not affected. To turn off Pop-up Window Blocking 1 In the main window, double-click Popup Blocking. 2 In the Ad Blocking window, uncheck Turn on Pop- up Window Blocking. 3 Click OK.
