Pop-up blocking functions are included in some anti-virus, internet security, personal firewall, and browser programs. Some common software that provides pop-up blocking functions include:
- Zone Alarm Pro
- Google Toolbar
- Yahoo! Toolbar
- MSN Toolbar
- AOL 8.0 and later
- Safari browser
- Microsoft Windows XP, Service Pack 2
- ICQ Toolbar
- Mozilla browser
- Netscape browser

In particular, the Norton and McAfee products have been known to be able to by-pass our pop-up blocker detector. It would allow certain pop-ups from the application( e.g. discussions) but not others (e.g. mail).
Users will need to disable the relevant setting in the program or set the WebCT server as an allowed site.
