Answer 1

try to readjust your settings so that your computer will accert cookies. If this doesn't work discountine your popup blocker and try popupblockerpro.com it's free

Answer 2

because its a piece of sh!t with bad detection and blocking patterns that you likely got for free or very cheep. if not you were ripped off.

of course, imho, blockers are overrated. you dont just get popups out of nowhere. you either need to be visiting a site that hosts the popups, or have your computer infected by adware or another form of hostile software. Both are avoidable of you know what your doing.

No Blockers here, last popup 2003.
And im quite active on the web.
