I'm not asking to go on a rant about how much I hate popups (I do); I'm actually asking cuz I never used to get them here, and I want to make sure it's not my computer.

So...is anyone else getting popup adverts when they visit the forums here? Or do I have to go hunting through my computer for spyware/viruses...

No popups here, I'm pretty sure.

I've never got a popup here. And for that I am in Shrapnel's debt. I hate the bloody things.

Your Machine isn't the only source (http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=20070702). And Here (http://vancouver.cs.washington.edu/) is a test for that aspect.

I wouldn't know, though - I use FireFox (http://www.mozilla.com/) which is basically immune to popups anyway.

I am a recent convert to Firefox myself. Glad I did too.

We don't use pop-ups, no.

Heh. Well, *that's* pretty clear.

Bah. A-searching I go.

Thanks, all. : )

You have adware/spyware on your computer. Adaware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad_aware_free.php) will help you out.
