How to Disable/Adjust Common Popup Blockers

In order to view Envirocheck correctly, your system will need to be able accept pop-ups from Internet Explorer.

Many plug-in toolbars, some anti-virus software, along with Internet Explorer itself, have a pop-up blocker. There are too many available pop-up blockers to be able to document them all. A set of instructions for each of the most common ones is shown below. If yours is not on this list, please refer to the instruction file or help documentation of the software you are using for details as to how to alter your popup blocker settings.

Internet Explorer 6

Internet Explorer 7

MSN/Hotmail/Windows Live Toolbar

Norton Internet Security

Internet Explorer 6

Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP (SP2) comes with a default and automatically installed popup blocker. This popup blocker can be easily altered or disabled if required.

1.	Click on Tools, select Pop-up Blocker then Pop-up Blocker Settings

2.	The Pop-up Blocker Settings dialogue box will appear. In the Address of Web site to allow: box enter the following: *.envirocheck.co.uk

3.	And click the Add button. The Envirocheck web address should appear in the Allowed sites: box. Click on the Close button.

4.	If you would simply like to turn the popup blocker off, click on Tools in the menu bar, select Pop-up Blocker then Turn Off Pop-up Blocker .

Internet Explorer 7

Internet Explorer 7, as with version 6, comes with an in-built pop-up blocker, and the procedure to modify it is almost identical.

1.	Within Internet Explorer 7 click on Tools in the menu-bar. If the menu-bar is not visible, press the ‘Alt’ key on your keyboard. This is the short-cut to toggle the visibility of this menu-bar.

2.	From here the procedure to alter the popup blocker is the same as Internet Explorer 6. Follow the instructions above from step 2.

MSN/Hotmail/Windows Live Toolbar

The MSN/Hotmail toolbar follows a similar procedure to the Internet Explorer popup blocker.

1.	On the MSN toolbar, find the pop-up blocker button and click on the drop down menu icon beside it.

2.	On the menu, select Allow Pop-ups for This Site.

The MSN Search Toolbar Options dialogue box will open. As with the Internet Explorer pop-up blocker, enter the Envirocheck web address (www.envirocheck.co.uk) into the box marked below and click the Add button. This will add the Envirocheck web-site to the list of sites from which the MSN toolbar will allow pop-ups

4.	Click on OK and pop-ups are now allowed through this toolbar.

Yahoo toolbar

Before the Yahoo toolbar options can be modified the popup blocker must have blocked a popup from the envirocheck web site, so this tool bar cannot be modified in advance of logging in.

1.	Once you have attempted to log in, and been prevented doing so by popup blocker, locate the popup blocker icon on the toolbar (see below) and click on the drop down menu.

2.	Select Always Allow Pop-Ups From…

3.	This will bring up a dialogue box showing sources of recently blocked popups. Search the list for www.envirocheck.co.uk and left-click it once. Once you have selected it click on the Allow button to the right.

4.	When you see the message box (See below) click the OK button.

5.	Once you have clicked on ‘OK’ you should see the envirocheck address appear in the ‘Always Allow Pop-Ups From These Sources:’ box at the bottom.

6.	Click on the Close button. For more information on the Yahoo toolbar, please refer to:http://toolbar.yahoo.com/

Google toolbar

The Google toolbar is perhaps the easiest to modify.

1.	Navigate to the www.envirocheck.co.uk and on the Google toolbar you should see an icon with a number beside it and the word blocked.

2.	Click on this button and the (*) Blocked will change to Popups okay. This will only allow popups from Envirocheck.

3.	For more information on the Google toolbar please refer to: http://toolbar.google.com/popup_help.html

Altavista toolbar

Similar to the Google toolbar, the Altavista toolbar has a simple On button that can be clicked when you are on a website whose popups you wish to allow. Click the button (see below) to allow pop-ups.

AOL toolbar

The AOL toolbar is again simple to modify to allow pop-ups from the Envirocheck website.

1.	Navigate to www.envirocheck.co.uk and click on the drop down menu beside the popup button (see below)

2.	Select the Allow Pop-ups from envirocheck.co.uk option on the menu and popups will now be allowed through the toolbar.

Norton Internet Security

1.	Click on the Norton icon on the toolbar. This can be found in the lower right-hand side of your screen in the system tray (see below). Select Open Internet security settings.

2.	In the Internet Security settings click on Norton AntiSpam and then select Status & Settings.

3.	Click on Pop-up Blocking. You will then have the option to Turn Off or Configure the pop-up blocker.
