If the Internet Explorer pop-up blocker is enabled pop-ups will be blocked. Anyway you can always allow them for secure sites (HTTPS sites) editing the Windows registry:

1) click on Start -> Run
2) type regedit
3) go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Microsoft -> Internet Explorer -> New Windows
4) right click on New Windows and select New -> REG_DWORD Value
5) name it 'AllowHTTPS' (do not change small letters and capital letters)
6) double-click AllowHTTPS and type '1' in the Value Data box
7) close regedit
8) logoff or restart Windows

You are done! Notice that will works for the current user only: if you log in as a different user all pop-ups will be blocked as usual

WARNING: the Windows' registry is the heart of Windows: you will be in *TROUBLE* if you damage it! Your computer could be temporarily unavailable! So, before editing it, please make sure you have a backup copy of it. Refer to this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/en-us to know more about the Windows' registry backup procedure
