Turning this option on causes PopUpCop to warn you when a web page is using a script in a hyperlink. These links look just like normal hyperlinks, however they require script to be enabled to work correctly. So, if you typically browse with script turned off, you may want to enable this option so that PopUpCop can let you know when a hyperlink requires script.
When this situation occurs, PopUpCop displays the Script Click Warning dialog as follows:
Clicking the No button will (attempt to) navigate to the selected page and will leave scripting turned off. You can disable this warning by checking the Don't warn me again box. This will change the Warn me about onclick handlers when script is off option to off.
Clicking the Yes button will turn scripting back on and the link will be followed. Note that all open browser windows will refresh with scripting enabled.
PopUpCop supports the Windows Trusted site list by disabling annoyance suppression when a trusted site is encountered. Since its important to keep your version of Windows and Office products up-to-date due to newly discovered security holes, PopUpCop gives you a short cut for adding these important sites to your Windows Internet Security Options Trusted site list.
Ask me what source to view when viewing source for all frames

PopUpCop will then display the web page source code in the text editor or viewer of your choice.

Warn me if I try to block an annoyance at a site and the annoyance is allowed.

When PopUpCop encounters a Full screen window request
Some web sites use a technique to take over your entire screen. PopUpCop defaults to asking you what you want to do when a Full Screen request is encountered. You can change this to always allow Full screen requests, or to never allow them. When disallowed, PopUpCop puts the web page into a normal, resizeable window. Select from the following settings to control Full Screen requests:
Do nothing - allow web pages to take over entire screen
Do not let the window occupy the full screen. Force web page into normal browser window.
Ask me what to do - ask each time a Full screen request is made.
The Yes button forces the web page to display in a normal browser window, while the No button allows the web page to take over the entire screen. You can use the What should PopUpCop do the next time it detects this condition? option to change this setting. Use the above options to change it back.
When changing settings
PopUpCop defaults to refreshing all open browser windows when a annoyance setting or Irritation level is changed. You can control how PopUpCop refreshes open browser windows:
Always refresh every Web page (default). All open browser windows are refreshed.
Ask me whether to refresh each Web page - PopUpCop asks for each open browser window.
Never refresh any Web pages - no browser windows are refreshed. Use your browser's refresh button to refresh manually.
When Meta Refresh is off
Meta refresh allows a web page to redirect the browser window to a different web page. When Meta refresh is on, then this option is ignored. However, when Meta refresh is off, then this option determines how PopUpCop will react to Meta refresh commands. By default, PopUpCop inserts a link at the top of the page (or frame) that has the Meta refresh statement. You can change this to never modify the web page or to ask you what you would like to do each time Meta refresh is encountered.
Never modify page content - PopUpCop does not allow Meta Refresh and does not modify the page.
Insert a link to Redirect URL - PopUpCop does not allow Meta refresh, and places a link to the redirected page at the top of the current page.
Ask me what to do - PopUpCop displays a dialog that lets you choose how to handle the Meta Refresh.
Selecting Yes places a link to the redirect URL into the web page. Selecting No prevents the Meta refresh. The What should PopUpCop do the next time it detects this condition? allows you to set this option for the future.
When PopUpCop wants to block the same popup twice within 10 seconds.
Sometimes PopUpCop will block a popup that you do not wish it to block. If you perform the action that caused the popup again very quickly,
PopUpCop will ask you whether you wish to block the popup. However, if you frequently visit parts of the Web where Web sites use popups agressively,
you might find that this "feature" is more annoying than the benefit. You can use this setting to turn the feature off.
