    You could try entering your MSE account and setting it up from there, I cannot say I have come across any MSE pop ups, but as I am on their mailing list already its possible it just needs clarification one way or the other, of which you could try to do from your MSE account.

    it is annoying, http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/latesttip/

    avoid the page, or click the X (if that doesn't work, there is something wrong with your machine setup/browser settings - try resetting to defaults, under IE, tools, internet options, advanced)

    tks both. i am on mailing list already - though not logged in when pop up freezes computer - clicked on yr link, closed, and no probs.... when pop up has appeared in past there is no quick way to click on x to close as computer has frozen the minute the page appears...

    "there is something wrong with your machine setup/browser settings - try resetting to defaults, under IE, tools, internet options, advanced)"

    everything is as up to date as i know how. using firefox in the main and all cookies etc removed everytime i close down. just cannot undertstand why this mse pop up freezes everything.

    i love this site, but this one glitch dirves me so nuts i am now trying to avoid it!

    best wishes
