Popup Blocker Help (PC)

Did your computer fail the Popup Blocker test?

If your computer failed this test, it means that Popups will be blocked when you access various Web pages in your online course. This feature of your computer must be turned OFF so that the windows are able to popup. There are many types of Popup blockers that may be operating on your machine, especially if you download stuff from the Internet. Popup blockers are sometimes included with downloads you choose, without you knowing it. The following instructions will tell you how to turn off the popup blockers that are connected to your browser. You may need to search for other popup blockers, such as ones in Google Toolbars, Yahoo Toolbars, etc.

Please disable ALL pop-up blockers (2nd disable pop-up-blocker reference) (click here for Norton) that might be turned on OR set your popup blocker to not function when accessing any of the following domain names:

• myblackhawk.bhc.edu
• student.bhc.edu
