Do you get pop-up ads when coming to SO? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Howdoulikemenow333 · 12-02-2005, 11:55 PM

Does anybody else get pop-ups still? When you come to SO, I have firewall,mozillia irefox, but, they keep coming when I come here, This is the only place that I get pop-ups. I just don't like pop-ups, some of them are sex pop ups also. Getting very tired of it, I feel like that ifthis don't stop I'll come here not quite as often.

do you get popups when you are NOT online?

do you use an antispyware program regularily? try Adaware , Spybot, or Antispyware.

I installed Ad-Aware in addition to Spy Sweeper, and I have Popup Manager on this computer, yet I still get popups on SO! The popups that appear behind SO dialog boxes are really nasty, and yesterday & today I got 'em while I was attaching image files.

I only get them when I first enter the site.

Firefox with popup blocking on PLUS Adblock installed. What are these things you call ads?

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 12-07-2005, 07:54 PM

Hmmm, rarely.

I haven't noticed any popups here on SO. I am using the built-in blocker in WindowsXP Professional, as well as SpyBot and SpywareBlaster.
