Don't have that problem but use to. My step son put me on
FireFox and I don't have the problem now.

Gratefully I get NO pop-ups at all ... guessing I have something on my computer that blocks it.

I think it is because I use Mozilla Firefox ...you can get it free online, I like it better than Internet Explorer, personally.

I also use Norton and have never seen anything like you are talking about. It would drive me crazy too to see that popping up all the time.

I have a Mac and never get stuff like that. Thank goodness. But the downside is I can't use Quilt 7 and some of the software only written for Windows.

I don't have it, but I'm using Mozilla Firefox instead of Internet explorer.

That use to happen to me except it was a different ad. It is trying to get you to open it and you will get malware. I had to have windows re-installed on my computer because I did click on the ad and it put some malware in my computer. You can try re-installing your program and see if it goes away. Mine did.
