edited January 2010 in Troubleshooting
Has anyone noticed of late that every now and again you go into a thread another window will open, i have not let it and always closed it so i dont know what its advertising

Just wondered is it just me who is getting this? generally i vary between having pop ups blocked & unblocked but have never until the last couple of days got any on this site

Yours Faithfully
John :-)

    Sounds like you may have adware mate as I havn't had this. Get Advance Systemcare Pro from Download.com/Google and scan your system.

    MalwareBytes is your best bet. That'll remove most spyware/malware/adware and is so simple a child could use it. I haven't had to deal with a spyware problem at work for about 4 years - but then again, I know what I'm doing and put systems in place to prevent it. If this is a spyware problem, your sys admins want shooting.

    shouldn't be getting them. Be interested to know if other people have been getting them.

    What Leroy said, Malwarebytes is a great programme and if you go to majorgeeks.com you can download it for free.

    Do what I said. Download MalwareBytes from the link I provided and run it. Let it fix anything it finds. Reboot. Send me thanks.
