Changing the Pop-Up Blocker Settings

MicroLink Plus Web 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. MicroLink Plus Web 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.

Enabling and Disabling the Pop-Up Blocker

1.      Right-click on the MicroLink Plus Web Accelerator system tray icon.

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".

6.       To disable all pop-up blocking for all sites, uncheck "Enable PopUp Blocker".
