Stopping pop-ups

How can I stop pop-up windows?

Pop-up windows are a type of 'spam' (or unsolicited electronic communication). To block them, please set up your firewall to block NetBIOS traffic.

If you do not have a firewall, you can opt for BT NetProtect or buy one from other providers.

Important: please consult the guidelines supplied by your firewall provider to change your firewall set-up.
