grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, I've gotten 3 popups today! What's going on? I scanned like crazy and everything came up clean. The popups are Flash so I can't use Adblock to block them.


HEELLLLLLLPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!! I'm so sad. :( :( :(

I don't know. It has to be from one of my home pages because that's all that's open.

CCleaner
LunarSoft
Myspace
TOP
TAH

The popups are like www.poker.com (that one I was able to block), and then the other 2 were Flash so I just closed them out.

And NO! Nothing bad. Get your heads out of the gutter people.

Okay. So does that mean I have to go back to using a hosts file to stop the popups?

dont click on any ads and you wont get any pop ups from what ive seen.
myspace isnt bad, if your not addicted to it.

I never click on Ads so that isn't the issue here.

CCleaner was the open tab when the last popup occurred, if that makes any difference.

It wouldn't matter what tab you were looking at if you still had a myspace tab open. Your still connected to the site when a tab is open even if your not focused on that one at the moment.

Wow you must not use the internet much... :P
IE really is the worst at pop up blocking though.

See how many pops get through on IE vs FF and Opera.

ROFLMAO....You never told me that worked for you. But the numbers that you PMd me were fine. What did you change the numbers to?
