Some applications linked from CIS require the use of pop-up windows. Follow these steps to grant exceptions to your browser's pop-up blocker for websites you trust, while still maintaining protection from unwanted advertisements.
Remember, you may also need to enable pop-ups on any toolbars you have installed. |
