Pop-Up Windows
Many internet browsers have built in tools that prevent new windows from opening automatically (also referred to as pop-ups). While some web sites use this pop-up technique legitimately, others use it as a means to display unwanted content. InfoGenius and AlertBot only use pop-up windows to display requested content and will never deliver unwanted content via a pop-up window. To configure your internet browser to display pop-ups from AlertBot, follow the step by step procedure found below for your particular software package.
