Annoying Pop Up
#11
It certainly sounds like some adware or malware. An antivirus program may not necessarily pick it up. You need something to detect adware/malware. Try Superantispyware and Malwarebytes...both good free programs and they are safe. I use them both all the time, in addition to my antivirus. If you google each you will get the site to download them from.

I barely get to read one discussion and there it is showing it's ugly face again and again and again. Please help. I do have an antivirus and pop up blocker on my computer and this is the only site that this is happening on. :-(

I've had this happen several times...primarily when I'm in the "Pictures" section. Very annoying and I have to get off the board and go somewhere else, then return. It only happens at this site. Not sure if it's linked, but had to run a scan the other night because of Java...
