Pop-up Blocker Test

Did you just get a pop-up window that said your pop-up blocker was properly configured? If so, click here to return to the Arcasearch support page.

If you did not see the pop-up, then Arcasearch may not work until you either specifically allow arcasearch.com or disable your pop-up blocker. All pop-up blockers have an area where you can allow exceptions or permit certain sites to trigger pop-ups. This is where you need to enter arcasearch.com into the allowed list. Here are instructions on how to properly configure the most common pop-up blockers:

Internet Explorer Pop-up Blocker:

1) Open Internet Explorer > Go To Tools> Pop-up Blocker> Pop-up Blocker Settings

IE Pop-up Settings

2) Type in "arcasearch.com" into the field 'Address of Web site to allow'

IE Pop-up Blocker

Yahoo Toolbar - Pop-up Blocker settings

If Pop-Up Blocker is blocking something you want to see, there are three ways to override it:

* Turn off Pop-Up Blocker by clicking the Pop-Up Blocker menu and unchecking Enable Pop-Up Blocker.
* Press and hold the CTRL key while clicking a link to override Pop-Up Blocker and allow any pop-up windows resulting from the click.
* Add the source of the pop-up window to your Allowed List by clicking the Pop-Up Blocker menu and selecting Always Allow Pop-Ups From.... Then select the site from the Sources of Recently Blocked Pop-Ups list and click Allow.

Google Toolbar - Pop-up Blocker settings

The Google Popup Blocker can be told to remember these sites so pop-up windows are allowed to launch.

To add a site to your whitelist, visit the site and press the Popup Blocker button. The button text will change to read "Allow site popups," indicating that the Popup Blocker is disabled on the site in question.

If you would like to remove a site from your whitelist, visit that site and click the Popup Blocker button. The button text will change to display the number of ads you've blocked. The changed text indicates that the site has been removed from your whitelist, and the Popup Blocker will resume activity on that site.

Please note that it is not possible to view or manually edit the whitelist. You can only add and remove sites from this list by toggling the Popup Blocker button on and off.

If the Popup Blocker is preventing a new window from opening, you can always let a new window open from a "blocked" site by holding down the Ctrl key while you click on a link.
