POP-UP ADS?? - AM I GETTING POP-UP ADS HERE??

Dan Hibiki · 05-13-2002, 02:56 PM

Since I got on today, your forum has given me pop-up ads, TMyApp! Some sites don't still, which tells me that it isn't an internet provider thing!

I thought you said that you weren't going to have pop-up ads! Is this only a me thing, or is everybody noticing this?

No you do not have a virus, but you have SpyWare. Check www.download.com for something called Ad-Aware. Scan ALL of your drives and you should find the source of your problems.
