This is part of the problem - it's not my computer. I'm logging in
remotely over an excruciatingly slow connection to a machine where all
the text is in German (which I don't speak). There are lots of toolbars
and a huge number of installed programs, including lots of adware. This
person is using IE to access an online app provided by my company but
when the app tries to open popups in the browser, they are being stopped
dead by the blocker I described. I've searched and search but I can't
find the settings for this thing, or even what it is. I've disabled the
IE/Googlebar popup blockers, added the site to the Trusted Zone, ran
Ad-aware all to no avail.
