I am all of a sudden getting pop-ups with Safari and my pop-up blocker is turned on. I use to NEVER get any pop-ups. Anyone else with this problem?
I have an MacBook, 15" monitor, 1 GIG ram, 120 gig internal hard drive, 500 gig external hard drive, and an iMac with 40 gig internal hard drive with iSight web cam. Using Mac OS 10.5 Leopard

Has no one had this problem at all or is it just me? Yes I have updated my OS and all my security updates and the update on Safari

Reset Safari. Maybe something is out of whack. Also try turning off pop-up blocking then turning it back on.

Ad servers are always looking for new ways to get around pop-up blocking. Best thing to do is block the ads and ad servers themselves, that way they never get a chance to trigger a pop-up.
