I've not seen it, but did have a problem loading a Three Dudes website link from here.

I have never seen this. Do not trust any pop ups! Keep yourself safe!

I don't get that popup. I have my security controls set to limit popups. I also do NOT trust anything like that.

I stay away from those surveys, too. They just want to pester you with ads and emails.

There are lots of those little programs that get put onto your computer when you download what you think is a safe program or photo, etc. Never follow them!! Get a freebie program off the net that scans for these little monsters and gets rid of them. And then RUN it once in a while!!

I have never seen this banner ad. I have a lot of protections set in IE and I am running Microsoft Security Essentials with some restrictive settings.
