I use FireFox, and the popup was blocked. I still had the option to view it if I chose to though.

I have IE6 with XP-Pro with ALL updates and I PASSED! but the noise (ie sound fx) from the huge barrage of attempted pop-ups was irritating.

I ran it with Firefox 1.0 and it failed. Wonder what the difference is.

On all Internet browsers, the Pop-up windows should be disabled, and third party cookies disabled, and even JavaScript disabled, except for a particular website at which you are certain of its security.
The Mozilla browsers and Internet Explorer, provide a settings window where you can list such websites, that will permit Pop-up windows.
In other words, you fly an Internet browser, adjusting the trim and fuel settings as you go, if you mean to get there and back.

FF runs all the sites I need to access now. I wouldn't use IE for anything.

Firefox 1.0 failed on my machine.
Solution: Do not browse untrusted sites while browsing trusted sites.

I just ran the test with FireFox 1.0 (with pop-up blocker enabled
and running AVG Anti-Virus 7.0 "Free" and ZoneAlarm 5.5.062.004 active) and I didn't see any new pop-up windows from Secunia show up. I'm confused.
I think Secunia's test should be done after a run of a spyware removal program such as Ad-Aware SE, SpyBot or the new spyware remover from Yahoo! Toolbar 1.9 for Internet Explorer. Embedded spywre might be the reason the windows are opening in the way Secunia describes it.

Ran it with Firefox 1.0... and passed. My version 0.8 Firefox passed as well. You wanna knnow why folks?
Firefox has an extension available called PrefButtons 0.2.
This allows you to place a small check box on you tool bar that you can easily turn of Java scripting with. Uncheck the box and run the test and Secunia can't do bupkis!
Firefox still beats the crap out of everything else.

My Firefox blocks the popups from the Drudge site....
So these guys have a new technique?
