Mystery pop up blocker

HugoRune_2

Hi, something on my PC is blocking pop ups which i dont want, have been in internet options/privacy and pop up blocker is off, have turned off firewall and anti-virus, still doesnt work, any ideas where I can look for this pesky thing, it didnt used to do this, must be something to do with some download i suppose.
Any help appreciated

Have you got IE or Firefox, Firefox can block pop-ups? Have you installed any Google toolbars or applications? They can have pop-up blockers included.

In IE - Tools - internet options - privacy tab - there you should see pop up blocker

already checked that.
Its IE, there is also a wondows live toolbar and a yahoo toolbar, i can get them off screen but dont know how to uninstall them

Yahoo toolbar (Possibly windows too) has a built in popup blocker
Goto CONTROL PANEL and UNINSTAL PROGRAMS and they should both be in there
