Nothing happens

Hey I have a question and it may be stupid question but when I click on a link in my email or on a website it does not open up and I'm not sure why. It started doin this ac ouple of days ago. If I could get any help it would be greatly appreciated? Thanks in advance

What web browser do you use? IE8, IE9, FireFox, Google Chrome, Opera, ?????? What do you use for E-mail? Do you read it in your browser or do you use Windows Live Mail, Firebird or some other program.

I use IE8 and I have 2 email addresses yahoo and aol

Okay, thank you.

This happens with both Yahoo and AOL then?

My first guess would be your anti-virus software. What do you use?

As a test, boot to Safe Mode with Networking and see if links in E_mail now work.

Start your computer in safe mode
Advanced startup options (including safe mode)

I am not sure what it is this is my sisters computer but, I think its microsoft security essentials. How would I tart it in safe mode?

Read the directions at the two links I provided. Come back with any questions you may have.

I cant click on the links where do I go to read them.

I think its the pop-up blocker I just had went on a website where I had to turn off the pop up blocker and it let me open the link. Im not sure if thats solved the problem or do you think its something else? Please let me know I hope I didnt waste your time if you think that the case Sorry

You are not wasting my time at all. That's how I learn. I hope it is the popup blocker. Let me know, thanks.

Hey thanks for the help so far that is what it seems to be everything seems to be working fine.

Another poster had a similar problem. I recommended turning off the popup blocker. Waiting to see if that fixes that problem as well. Thanks again.
