The image quality setting changes the quality of images that

the longer it will take the image to load. For slower Internet

your image quality setting.

image, simply right-click on the desired image from within Internet
Explorer and select "Show Original Image" from the menu.
The full quality image will appear in place of the lower quality
image.
If you want to see the full quality version of all images on

Internet Explorer and select "Show All Original Images"
from the menu.

Changing the Pop-Up Blocker Settings
Ynet Booster can prevent pop-up windows and floating flash advertisements
from appearing while you browse the Internet. This behavior is
enabled by default, and no user-intervention is required. However,
you can disable these features at any time.
A limited number of web sites require pop-ups to function correctly.
Ynet Booster allows you to specify a "White List" of sites where
pop-ups will not be blocked.
You can also see a list of all pop-ups that were blocked. This
information is useful if you suspect a web site is not functioning
properly because pop-ups are being blocked.
To enable or disable the Pop-Up Blocker
-
Right-click on the Ynet Booster system tray icon and select
"Pop-Up Blocker...".
-
Select the "Options" tab.
-
If you would like to be notified any pop-up being blocked,
check "Notify blocked pop-up by PC speaker beep".
-
To enable the blocking of floating Flash advertisements,
check "Block Floating Flash-Ads".
-
To disable all pop-up blocking for all sites, uncheck "Enable
PopUp Blocker".
-
Press OK to save the settings.
To Disable the Pop-Up Blocker for Specific Sites
-
Right-click on the Ynet Booster system tray icon and select
"Pop-Up Blocker...".
-
Select the "White List" tab.
-
Use the "Add", "Remove" and "Remove All" buttons to manipulate
the White List.
-
Press OK to save the settings.
To View the Pop-Up Blocker Log
-
Right-click on the Ynet Booster system tray icon and select
"Pop-Up Blocker...".
-
Select the "Logging" tab.
-
To add a web site to the "White List" so that pop-ups are
no longer blocked from that site, right-click on the site
and click "Add to Whitelist".
To Add Sites to the White List
You can add sites to the White List within the Pop-Up Blocker
dialogs (which is shown above) or from within Internet Explorer.
-
Right-click on any text while browsing within Internet Explorer.
-
Select "Add to Whitelist" from the menu to add the
current site to the White List.

Blocking In-Page Advertisements
