Problem solved!! I use Earthlink as my internet provider & there is an Earthlink popup blocker responsible for this clenched red fist. There is an Earthlink internet menu that controls thisl but, if 'Earthlink Toolbar' isn't checked in 'Toolbars' in 'View' from the menu bar. It's then just turning off the Earthlink popup blocker by clicking on their popup button. Hope this helps someone else someday!!!!
