> > Advisory : Microsoft Internet Explorer Pop up Blocker Bypassing and Dos > Vulnerability >
In fact, it isn't just "malicious" doing this. I wanted to read an article on a well known Australian I.T. mag and it had, with it, the usual advertisements. In the middle of reading it using IE7, a pop up started to come up. I noted that the GOOGLE pop up blocker installed on this IE7 turned to "Popups Okay" and when the popup came up, it bounced right back to "# blocked" where "#" equals the number recorded as blocked. This happened to me yesterday while using an Internet Explorer 7 on a Vista machine with no third party firewall installed and Google Toolbar installed. So it lead me to wonder - is Google actually allowing popups for paid advertisers or is someone fooling with the Google popup blockers for the same reason? No, I haven't investigated it. I haven't had the time and though this has potential most likely, it didn't seem malicious right now. Perhaps someone else can. Too much on my plate to get near it right now. I would love to hear anything if anyone looks into it. Apologies if this has already been posted. I am way behind on my list reading.
