Damn, whatever this thing is pisses me off.

Ex, I'll be on a site and click on a link but it wont open, except a little fist will come up next to the cursor and I wont be able to open the link. Same thing if I right click and open in new window. etc. Ive turned off the pop up blocker for IE..nothing....I turned it off for norton..nothing...

Plz help
 
What browser are you running there? IE 7 has a new antiphising filter that will even block access to some sites by default due to it being enabled by default as well as IE 7's higher default security settings. Make sure the popup blocker in IE is also disabled as well. But the "fist" sounds like some of additional 3rd party item there.
 
A 3rd party software would be any additional security program like an internet security protecter putting up a block for certain types of sites. The antiphishing filter in IE 7 can also be hampering you there. If that is active try disabling that in the security section. The image of a fist does suggest that some program and not any Microsoft security feature is the problem there.
 
Then you are talking about commercial versions of softwares with restrictions put inplace. Which version of Windows is this being seen on?
 
Thx for all ur replies...

That link helped out as it pointed me in the right direction. It was my earthlink software running in the background. Tried setting the blocker off but that didnt work so I just uninstalled the software since I never used it anyways. Works great now. Im protected by norton so that should be OK.
