Strange Google toolbar behavior.
Downloaded the new Google toolbar/popup blocker on one of my machines{XP}, the newest version 4.0, and had some problems.
When in the Security thread , the security tools page , any link listed caused popup blocker to block. In other words , when I clicked on a item , for example " Anti-Spyware at Majorgeeks"- google would block it ---show it as a blocked popup , and page would not display. I had to click on the blocker to allow popups there. Kind of defeats the purpose, not mention being a pain in rear.
It didnt prevent any "real" links --url's from loading or cause any other browser problems.
I then uninstalled it , and reinstalled the version that has worked so well for me--no problem and in fact --is easier to use, and works fine as always.
Google Toolbar 3.0.131.0 (IEhttp://www.filehippo.com/download_google_toolbar/?936
I wonder , has anyone else experienced this, or is it just a isolated problem---something I am missing???. >f

We can leave it here, I didn't read far enough to see that you actually solved the problem
