pandora_spocks 08-18-2003, 11:54 PM I never got that one before, but I hate those banners that if you rollover them with your mouse cursor they drop down. They are so freakin' annoying! :mad:

LOL, nice timing... :)
~LadyJess~ 08-18-2003, 11:57 PM I've never got that before. But I have an Ad-Zapper so most of the pop-ups don't get past that.
*Pleasant Tomorrow* 08-18-2003, 11:57 PM I think all pop-up adds should die :cuss:
Could that be MS POP (Messenger Spam)? I know MS POP usually has the words "Messenger Service" at the top of the dialog box, but that might be a more advanced form of it. Try following the instructions here (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B330904).

When you put your mouse over it, does the cursor change into a "finger," like it's a link to something? Have you updated your Ad-Aware lately?

I only got it once dunno... probably is a link though and yea ive updated AAW, updated it just last night... Lotta new threats added in the latest Ref File...
I will try and deselect that one if I can find it, but it helps to know what company it is for. I can't manually select/deselect every ad as it becomes available unfortunately but it helps to know when you come across a truly annoying or offensive ad.
dawsongirl 08-19-2003, 12:28 AM I just got that! Scared me. I really thought maybe there was something wrong.
Stormtracker TF 08-19-2003, 12:29 AM Ive gotten that countless times just today :grr:
It never came up for me until about 7PM this evening.

It should be against the law for ads to be deceptive like that. Same with SPAM. Unfortunately, it's an epidemic.
¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ 08-19-2003, 12:36 AM I dont get ad pop-ups anymore because we have some ad blocker. But, for some reason, Ill randomly get these windows thatll be some announcement thing. Theyre always the same color, and there's nothing for you to click on it.. its just some random box. Ill have to show you it next time.
PZelda 08-19-2003, 12:38 AM I haven't gotten those today because I have Pop Up Stopper Professional. :grr:

Full Pagers are the worst. Only way to close them is Ctrl, Alt and Delete.

I got that pop-up message and I tried to block it with my pop-up blocker but it caused my whole internet to shutdown so I had to remove that pop-up from being blocked in order to get the internet working properly on my computer. :(
Hopefully, Zone Alarm can prevent it from coming up on my computer without compromising my internet access.
