Is anyone else experiencing pop ups? For about three days now every once in while I get a pop up ad show up. Anybody experience this?:animal-pa |
Ooooo, a complaint thread and I was gonna post the same thing. Pop up blocker doesn't even stop these....the first time I got one....I wondered what I had clicked or scrolled across. Now you scroll down a thread...and eventually up one comes...:mad: Just threw that guy in...I don't like it. |
yes and it drives me crazy. i also have a pop up blocker but it isn't catching them. i don't think we ought to have to be subjected to these on here and wish there was some way to stop them. seems like we had this happen once before and admin told us a way to stop them. Could be wrong tho. |
Count me in! I HATE those stupid pop-ups, they really drive me away from YT when I can't stand it anymore. On another forum that I frequent they were able to get rid of the pop ups, I think it costs money though. |
Yep, I was also going to post regarding this. Thanks! |
Yep I have had it happen several times in the last week. |
Pop-up ads are ads that display in a new browser window. There are absolutely no ads on YorkieTalk which open up another browser window and there never have been. We do have ads from Google and a few other advertising agencies on YorkieTalk. Ads help offset server and hosting costs and help keep YorkieTalk alive. YorkieTalk would simply not be possible without ads. Which ads are you referring to? If they are green colored links, we have posted a way to disable them here: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sit...red-links.html If you are talking about a different ad, please let us know and we can look into it. Thank you. |

I haven't seen any pop-ups, but I do get pop-unders! If I have my speakers on, and I'm reading the posts, sometimes I hear a message that starts with "Congratulations, you have been selected...." it made me jump right out of my chair the first time! :D |

I've been getting these as well. I'm so tired of having my life invaded by uncaring people who put those out and without your permission. I get junk phone calls, have to have my spam blocker set on high and now I can't even get on YT for a little visit without it happening here too. |
Please check your computer for viruses or trojans or other spyware if you are getting ANY popups or popunders. Any ads that open in another browser window or any popunders are NOT coming from YorkieTalk. The below programs are all free programs which are reputable, which you may use to see if you have any spyware or viruses. Microsoft Defender is a free spyware checker: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/secu...e/default.mspx Spybot S&D is a free spyware checker as well: http://www.safer-networking.org AVG Anti-Virus is free for personal use and it is available here: AVG Free - Download antivirus and antispyware software for Windows XP and Vista |
Wow I just have spent 3 days on the phone with India (Mcafee Security) because we had so many pop ups and virusus. I finally had to pay them 64.00 to take control of my computer remotely and get rid of the virusus and trojan. Even though I have their security package. Even after that I got a pop up and my computer is running slow. I hope it's not going to mess up my computer again. |
