Running IE7 on Vista Home Premium. I use Exite.com as one of my tabbed
homepages because it has the most complete television schedule I have found.
Yesterday while trying to read said schedule a full-page pop-up for Foot
Locker popped up, blocking everything. I couldn't find anyway to close the
thing and hitting "back" only managed to close it for a couple of
seconds.
I have never seen such a persistant, annoying and intrusive pop-up before.
Why didn't my pop-up blocker work? Is there additional settings to avoid
this type of pop-up?
I run AVG Anti-spyware daily and use AVG Anti virus.

IE Tools | Pop-up blocker | Settings: If excite.com is NOT listed in the
Allowed Sites section, there's not much you can do about it.
Also examine your Filter Level settings and perhaps read the FAQ?
