<font color=skyblue>I have had Ad-aware for a while now. I used to be able to have it enabled, and when I wanted to click on a link that would open a new browser window, all I had to do was hold down the CTRL button. That no longer works, for some unknown reason. Now when I do that, a new window opens, but it opens the browser to my homepage, not to the link I click. What has gone wrong?</font>

I'm not sure Larry, but I don't think it has to do with the basic Ad-Aware program.

If you wanna block pop-ups then use the Mozilla or Opera browsers, well actually pretty much any broswer except IE. They all have built-in pop-up blocking options (allow pop-ups, create pop-ups in background, or block all pop-ups are the basic choices)

Bill Gates please note: add this on the next version of Internet Explorer.

It'll probably never be added onto IE - if they were gonna do it, they would have already. MS is buddies with too many of the companies that use pop-ups for their adverts.
