Hello Steve, I have found a solution (but now you have to put it into production by doing the code part...) !!!!

I do not have the core module LINKS, but the Apollo MLAdvAnnouncement. I tried it using it as a simple LINK module, logging clicks (and opening in a new window). And guess what ?? People complaining with Norton or any other browser blocking pop-up do not have any problem !!! I am quite sure that Core links module do the same.
Look at the end of my DNN Page: http:// declic - video - fx . com / DNN . aspx
You will see the module "MLAdvAnnouncement" with a link to dotnetnuke. It is with a format like: mydomain.com/LinkClick.aspx?http://url

And people do not have problems with this... Can you investigate ???

Your sugestion does not solve the problem of counting the clicks. If I implement that then you will not be able to have a "counter' on your repository of how many times the link has been clicked without major changes around how clicks are stored. Currently, click count is stored in the Repository table for each item. The LinkClick.aspx method ( which is an httphandler ) stores the clicks in it's own table. I would have to change the code and the stored procedures that store/retrieve item clicks, so it's not just a simple change. Plus there's a 'conversion' issue then to programmatically create LinkClick records for all existing repository items and transfer the click count to the new table, so we would now have an 'upgrade' process that would have to run when installed.
