Can I set up my browser (IE or Netscape)to allow only the URL's I choose to go to and prevent others from poping up and trying to take over my session (most annoying with those porn sites) ?

Hi

You can't stop this behaviour in the browser, as most of these sites make use of built-in browser functionality.

You could consider using a proxy that blocks access to porn sites, if that is a problem, but it won't stop the browser trying to load them.

There's a GREAT program called webwasher (www.webwasher.com) that can kill popups and do a bunch of other things besides. It's by far the best thing I've seen for stuff like this.

I highly recommend it, and it's free for personal use (fee for corporate).

Hope that helps,
