Pop-up

[Madman]

Didn't really appreciate the giant pop-up of two half-naked chicks popping up on my screen here at work. I think it was for some singles dating thing - tried to hide it as fast as I could.

I'm sure I'm not the only guy surfing CP at work and not really diggin this type of ad.

[photon]

Really? I haven't seen any ads like that. AFAIK we aren't supposed to have those kinds of ads.

If you let me know more details about the ad (or a screenshot) we might be able to get it removed from the rotation.

EDIT: Hm, I think I just found it. Alright, I'll check with Bingo.

I just got that too, also photon. Your post happens in the future. What are the lotto numbers tomoroow?

[photon]

ah heh, the new forum software seems like it has a more correct time. i'll adjust the adjustment I made before.

Make sure it isn't the Sfondi Desktop Wallpaper ad with two half naked chicks on it, because if it is, it is nothing to do with the site, you have downloaded something with ad-ware hidden in it. For me, it was a stupid MSN Messenger Wink that was a free download taken by my wife. It wasn't much fun to eradicate either. If that was what it was, let me know, and I can try to find the link with instructions on how to remove it.

I'll look into it, but I've only ever seen it happen here - and it looks like someone else got it too.

I just got it again. Here it is:

[Madman]

Yep, that's the one.

I just got it too.

[hulkrogan]

I get: "Websense has blocked this page because it is part of the category 'sex'"

Work isn't going to be happy that I had that pop up about 5 times today :(

[winterhawks94]

just got the same popup 3 times at once

[MolsonInBothHands]

I just got the 'ho's at home. Good thing the wife hasn't started monitoring the web activities. :ph34r:

[calf]

haven't got it at home, but got it at work a few times

IT wasn't that riske to make it pop up 5 times

[Madman]

Getting it more and more now......great. :tdown:

[Yellefan]

Yep, gotten it at work about a dozen times over the past few days as well-- only at work though

[Flames89]

One word: FIREFOX

No Pop-ups

Add the extension "Adblocker", and then you can remove falshing ads from pages you view.

Key.

[Otto-matic]

I just got it too

[Madman]

It's getting ridiculous now.

Any word photon?

[photon]

I haven't heard back from the main man on this yet.

If you can download Firefox or the Google toolbar and use that while we track this down I'd recommend it.

[Otto-matic]

I think its gone. Maybe for me

Last time I got it was yesterday

hmmm, i use the google toolbar and I just got that ad for the first time

[fotze]

I only get it at work where I am unable to install software such as firefox that I have at home.

[photon]

I wasn't suggesting Firefox as the solution, only as a temporary fix until it gets looked at.

Interesting that Google toolbar doesn't block it. There's popups that are getting around Firefox now too on some sites; they're getting better and better at it. :(

IT is not a typical pop-up, it sticks to the top of the page so if you quickly go down the page you will miss it, but if you scroll back up it will be there.

[photon]

Yeah, it is attached to the bottom of the burstnet ad.

[FireFly]

Well, at least they're rotating the half naked chicks... there were new ones in my ad tonight.

[RougeUnderoos]

I don't really care as I don't have a job or a wife but...

yeah, it's not a regular pop-up and you can't get rid of it by just x-ing it out and it's still there tonight at about 12:30 MST. I do all the scans for spyware/adware et cetera and nothing picks it up.
