Yes…I had to read the question and answers properly in order to get this one:
Pop-up blockers prevent websites from opening new browser windows without the users consent.
These are often used for advertisements but can also be used to distribute malicious code.
By definition, a pop-up is a form of “Another browser instance”
• If I enable pop-up blockers, then pop-ups will not happen.
• If I disable pop-up blocker, then the pop-up blocker feature no longer works. This means that all sorts of pop-ups will take place
If I were to disable the pop-up blocker, then we can eliminate the following:
*A-here is no reason why “An alert message from the administrator may not be visible”. Quite to the contrary.
*B- There is no reason why “A form submitted by the user may not open”. Quite to the contrary.
*C- There is no reason why “The help window may not be displayed”. Quite to the contrary.
So by disabling the pop-up blocker, all sorts of pop-ups may take place, including the fact that “D-Another browser instance may execute malicious code.”
As mentioned , “Another browser instance” is a definition of a pop-up after all.
