No problem here. You may need to update your pop up blocker.

I have Norton Internety Security installed on my computer and I almost never get pop ups. You get a message that there is a pop up trying to come on and opt to let it open (not all pop ups are bad, sometimes they are part of the web page)
I am very happy with this product.
No affiliation - just sharing :shock:

Google Malwarebytes and download their free one. It will take care of whatever is in your machine that should not be. Apparently somewhere along the line you picked up something that is tracking you and sending pop ups.

Also, if you get any advertising emails of stuff you don't want to see, don't just delete them. Go through the ad and usually at the bottom there is a place to unsubscribe. Do that also. You may be getting these things from one passing on to the other.

Never get it.
I have AVG and I think Yahoo blocks them too.

Not all browsers have the gear wheel icon. Just search in Google, how to disable pop ups in _______ browser. Also it's easy to find solutions to computer problems by just asking the question in Google search. That's what most computer fix it people do!

I don't get any pop-ups on the board. Please don't send me any either! HA!

I NEVER pay for antivirus or any other programs. On one computer I have AVG and on the other I have Avesta. Both completely free. More money for material that way!!!! I have a friend who's son works for McAfee and he put AVG on his mom's computer!!! If you have any doubts listen to Kim Kamando!! She is a syndicated computer guru on the radio and has a few news letters. I read a lot more before I discovered this board!! Even tho she is above me I learn a lot from her show and news letters.
Like a lot of folks I HATE Internet explorer. It lets in more bad stuff then the others and is way slower IMHO!!!

Glad to know I am not the only one getting this pop-up. I just changed my block to the highest level - hope that works against this ad.

I don't get it, but I also have malware loaded on my computer.

I have been having the same problem and only when I am on this site. I have McAfee it has been running ok. When pop up comes on I have close this site and then come back on. It is very annoying.
