Which popup blocker is better? Chris 02-27-2006

If WinXP SP2 is detected during the MSN Search Toolbar install, the popup
blocker that comes with the toolbar is disabled--in favor of the one that
comes with WinXP SP2. It would be helpful to know why it's recommended that
WinXP SP2's popup blocker be used instead of the one that comes with the MSN
Search Toolbar.

I had been using the toolbar's popup blocker on my WinXP SP2 PC prior to my
uninstalling and re-installing the toolbar (see my other thread). For the
last few days, I've been using the WinXP SP2 popup blocker. In my experience,
the MSN Search Toolbar's popup blocker seemed to provide more features and
catch more popups.

I think it is purely a personal choice. If you like the Toolbar popup blocker
functionality better, go ahead and use that one.
