To take full advantage of all features of chat, pop-up blockers need to be disabled before you initiate a chat session. There are many pop-up blockers available on the market. If you are using Microsoft XP with Service Pack 2, then your version of Internet Explorer is equipped with a built-in pop-up blocker. Many other browsers, such as Mozilla, Firefox, and Opera, also have built-in pop-up blockers. You may also use a toolbar, such as Google Toolbar or Yahoo Toolbar, with a built-in pop-up blocker.
