I run Firefox with the popup blocker ON, I never see any of the crap others do ... :smokin:
I get messages from Spy Sweeper that XXXX ad ware, or whatever has been blocked. I don't have any problems with it. I use the following to keep from having problems with my puter;
Norton System Works (complete)
Spy Sweeper
Mailwasher Pro
Window Washer.
I keep the subscriptions current, and run a maintenance routine every week.
I ran 'Spy Sweeper' last year, it was rated #1 by PC World, but last month, they changed #1 spot to 'Spyware Doctor', perfect timing, my subscription was running out, and price was same, $30 a year, so I switched ... I like this a LOT better, and it doesnt slow me up while updating ... :smokin:Quote:

it's from 1 of the ads on this site
not too long ago, my system blocked a 'Trojan Downloader' program from loading when logging into Cannabis.com (and, several of us mentioned it in here) ... but, my gear blocked it ... I suspect, your defense didn't stop it from loading, and now you're seeing the result ... this is only an 'educated guess', and like Palerider, I suspected it from an 'active ad' ... :smokin:
I also am having problems with popups... they started to appear some days ago, and probably they are from this site, as it is the only i was viewing at the time...
Im using mozilla firefox, and never had any pop ups before that.
YEh i noticed im getting them too.
Thats the link of one i got right now, when entered cann.com:
"http://ad.adtegrity.net/click,-gIFAOJ3AwACmQIAUg4BAAIAAAAAAP8AAAAHEQICAAOntAMAyzA AAOa6AQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOM0EUcAAAAA,,htt p%3A%2F%2Fboards.cannabis.com%2F"
Does some mod has anything to say about this subject? They are so fast to answer threads in this feedback forum... Why does they are so silent now that we need them?
Ive never had any trouble with pop-upd on this site, then again with opera I never see a pop-up. I also downloaded some file that stops those annoying ads on websites(shoot the alien...win an ipod) from loading.
Not sure if it was because of this site but when on my friends computer I noticed pop-ups. Couldnt tell you if his computer was corrupted because I was only on here.
