    Forum Name

    I suggest the forum name "Classified Advertisements" be changed to "Classifieds". There are some "Popup Blockers" that reject the word "advertisement" and closes the window for the BT site. I have run into this problem while experimenting with IE and a new version of System Mechanic. Just a suggestion.

    I strongly dislike software that pulls "willy-nilly" stunts like this. I've already had to change the name of the Support ASP page because Norton was blocking it. Oh well...

      Does System mechanic have a "white list" of sites that are acceptable? You should investigate that. I agree with Sam, A popup blocker should do just that. Reject popups and not the sites you want to go to.

      Just my opinion.

        Yes. It does have a list...but the list is based on words and not a site. I didn't see any way to exempt any one site. I guess that limits the usefullness of the program. Of course you could disable the program or eliminate the word "advertisement" to work around. Otherwise, Sysem Mechanic is a great little program. I've been using it for years. Here is a link for a free trial: http://www.iolo.com/

        It does a lot of the things Norton Utilities does, only faster and not quite a comprehensive.

        Thanks Sam, for the quick change.
