Stopping runaway web sites...

[MGallik]

How can I stop Internet Explorer from allowing the runaway site openings.

I've just had to reboot because a half a million sites opened and
would'nt let me close or stop them.

how about disabling javascript?

Use the Voyager 5000 browser. It is based on IE and you can disable the pop up windows.

Use control+w to close the pop-ups faster than they can open.

Lookin at pr0n again eh? Or was it warez?

If it pops up from one browser, you can ctrl+alt+del and end it. It'll close all the IE windows.

Best way is to disable javascript. Go to security, click custom and disable active scripting (IE's Javascript). That outta do the trick.
