# How to handle Popup windows in IE Browser

A Browser Helper Object is a DLL module designed as a plugin for Microsoft's Internet Explorer web browser to provide added functionality. BHOs were introduced in October 1997 with the release of version 4 of Internet Explorer. Most BHOs are loaded once by each new instance of Internet Explorer.

In a few scenarios the IE browser abruptly closes, while opening a new tab or pop-up window where BHO is implemented.

**Please follow the steps to fix this issue.**

**Step 1**: Open Internet Explorer browser and click on settings.

**Step 2:** And click on Internet option.

**Step 3**: Make sure that “Turn on Pop-up Blocker“ is unchecked under the “Privacy” menu.

**Step 4**: Click on the Tabs button.

**Step 5**: Click on “Always open pop-ups in a new tab” and click OK button.
