Instead, close them by right-clicking your mouse and closing them from the menu. If and when potentially malicious popups do open, don’t click on them, even if you’re trying to close them. Here you can allow or disallow popups and manage exceptions you wish to make. If you’re using Google Chrome, follow the same initial steps by going to the browser’s settings, then scrolling down to Privacy there, click on the ‘Content Settings’ tab and scroll down to the Pop-ups section. In Safari you’ll find the ‘Block pop-up windows’ box under the security tab of preferences in Internet Explorer, click on ‘Internet Options’ in settings, then click the ‘Privacy’ tab and check the ‘Turn on Pop-up Blocker’ box. In Firefox, go to your preferences, then select ‘Content’ and check off the box to ‘Block pop-up windows.’ There is an ‘Exceptions’ button you can click to allow sites you know and trust to produce pop-ups. For the major browsers the process is virtually the same. The best way to avoid pop-ups is to adjust the settings on your web browser to prevent those annoying pages from opening. And because most reputable sites now steer clear of them, a lot of the pop-ups that do still exist have the potential to carry malware. Pop-up ads aren’t the massive problem they once were, but they’re still a nuisance.
