How to Uninstall a Pop Up Blocker on Windows 98

Pop-up blockers are programs designed to stop website advertisements that surface when browsing the Internet. Advertisements are in the form of pop-ups and pop-unders. Pop-up blockers limit intrusions from advertising websites and enhance web-browsing experience. Windows 98, like other operating systems allows you to install third-party pop-up blockers that you can uninstall anytime if you no longer have use for them. The removal process is simple and fast.

Instructions

1. Print these directions and close your web browser. Pop-up blockers fail to uninstall if your web browser is running.

2. Click the Windows "Start" button and click "Settings." Click the "Control Panel."

3. Double-click the "Add or Remove Programs" icon. A white text box opens containing programs installed on your computer.

4. Scroll through and click the pop-up blocker program. Click "Add or Remove" and click "Yes" to confirm and uninstall it from your computer.

5. Restart your web browser.
