I have been to other boards and I have never got any pop-ups, but why here? And it's all the time when I logg in on SO.

what do these pop-ups look like or say?

what "programs" are you referring to that you have installed?

have you installed SpywareBlaster, Spybot Seek & Destroy, AdAware, and the Adblock extension for firefox? (you can also import a set of filters for Adblock)

have you tried to run HijackThis! to check for any other Spyware or viruses? can you post a log for me here?

can you post a screenshot of it? press the Printscreen key then paste it into Paint, save the picture then upload it here.

Please try to run Hijack this and give me a log so I can see what is going on in your system.

I was getting popups recently too, so I re-installed Ad-Aware+ and ran it. Sure enough....it detected four "critical items", and I deleted them.

+:I had to re-install it after using System Recovery to get my computer back after a virus sneaked through (I have Norton's antivirus program on my computer) somehow.

I get the same casamedia pop-ups whenever I log in to the site as well. Only when I click on the log-in, though

this site may be producing a single popup when you log-on to the site, but that should be it, and if you are using firefox with adblock and a hosts file installed you shouldn't even see that.

I have never used any pop-up blocker and I have never once seen a popup ad in firefox.

Yeah you might have some Adware installed on your computer, that's why you are getting so many pop-ups.
